Yu Garden embodies the quintessence of classical ancient Chinese gardens south of the Yangtze River — a creation of maximum out of minimum. While it takes a familiar person only five minutes to walk from the entrance to the exit, most first-time visitors find themselves lost in this little paradise with fish ponds, rockeries, plants, bridges and buildings of various types arranged along zigzagging paths. The ingenious use of Chinese gardening art in combination with the garden’s 400-plus years of history makes Yu Garden one of the most popular tourist attractions in Shanghai.

The scenic trails of Tonto Creek may be explored on horseback with Kohl’s Ranch Stables. The guides lead the way as guests try to spot the wildlife: elk, deer, eagles, and more, there’s no limit to the natural beauty!

Just 30 minutes south of Perth (and a five-minute ferry ride), Penguin Island is a unique nature reserve, home to Western Australia’s largest colony of little penguins. Don't miss the feeding time! The wildlife is the star attraction, but beyond that the island offers white sandy beaches and is surrounded by crystal clear waters perfect for snorkelling.

A must-see while in Porto is the São Bento Railway Station. More than just a train station, this place is another architectural jewel, among the many others this city boasts. Built by the Portuguese architect José Marques da Silva in 1900, the São Bento Railway Station opened to the public sixteen years later. Its construction took place on the site that once housed a Benedictine monastery, hence the name São Bento. The architecture has a French Renaissance influence, and even though its facade is already quite impressive, its interior is what leaves visitors truly awestruck. The main hall is beautifully decorated–from the ground to the ceiling — with more than 20,000 "azulejos" (Portuguese tiles), which recount important events of the history of Portugal.
