Dubai is a fascinating place, with all kinds of weird tourist attractions. The Dubai Miracle gardens are a nice example of that, but as far as weird attractions go – this is pretty great, lots of great, lots of flowers,
Sengan-en Gardens : Kagoshima
Japanese gardens are always a treat, and the Kagoshima Sengan-en Gardens are a wonderful example. Overlooking the bay, with the scenic backdrop of the volcano mountains surrounded by water, it’s a magical place to explore, both for the gardens and

Lion Rock Mountain Wangu Tower : Lijiang China
