Features: A 104-episode large-scale series of travel and cultural documentaries, jointly produced by Eastern Television, Eastern Satellite TV, and Sunshine Culture, is currently in hot air. 66 journeys that are not to be missed in a wonderful life. In the world we live in, there are some places that embody a culture without words, an education without textbooks, and an influence without sound. Once they seep into your life and blood, they will stubbornly affect your consciousness until the end of your life. Amidst the hustle and bustle of the city, the pressures and hardships of reality make people yearn instinctively—for material abundance, and even more for a spiritual sanctuary. In light of this, National Geographic magazine spent two years conducting a survey, widely consulted opinions from people from all walks of life, and selected 51 "places one must visit in a lifetime." These 51 places were then categorized into landscapes that harmoniously blend civilization and nature, the ultimate Eden, and beautiful, tranquil paradises on earth. Based on this, this book has carefully selected 66 places that are not to be missed in the course of life, including historic cities that carry the weight of time, spiritual sanctuaries that enlighten the soul, great world wonders, cradles of civilization, and the ultimate Eden. The value of these places lies not in their material wealth, but in the insights they offer through their profound cultural heritage. Getting close to these that one should visit at least once in a lifetime will make our souls tremble and soothe our hearts.
