Features: Highly recommended world travel bible. Authoritative selection, Passionate impulse. A travel list that rejects mediocrity, compiling the unforgettable travel experiences of top world travelers from every corner of the globe. Evaluated by over 100 influential travel experts worldwide, finally selected the 40 ultimate dream destinations in this book. You may not visit them, but you must know. The internationally renowned travel writer and photographer Steve Davy has traveled far and wide for many years, selecting his favorite forty places with a unique perspective. Some places, such as the Taj Mahal and the Alhambra, are already world-famous, but the vast majority, such as the breathtaking and incredible Angkor Wat hidden in the jungles of Cambodia, the towering sand dunes and death basin hidden in the scorching Namib Desert, these scenic spots break the conventional mold. Compared to visiting Venice or New York, which may be a comfortable trip, some places may mean a challenge—crossing the vast Ethiopian desert to see the mysterious Lalibela Rock Church; or traveling for nine arduous days just to glimpse the fifth highest peak of the Himalayan mountain range in Nepal—the Makalu Peak. This book is not a simple travel guide; it can lead you to a series of fascinating places, and most of these places can be visited within two weeks or even less vacation time. Numerous exquisite exclusive images run throughout the book, and just these images alone can immerse you in it, completing a magical dream journey.
