1) Panda lovers of the world now have another place to call home (for
a few nights, at least). In 2013, the Panda Inn, a panda-themed hotel
in China's Sichuan province, opened its doors to guests. The 32-
room hotel is decorated with panda art, panda furniture and
panda-shaped stuffed animals. Even staff members dress in panda
suits. [Panda Inn, Sichuan, China]
2) Welcome to Ittoqqortoormiit, Greenland. Here you can live with
the Inuit and incredible wildlife that surrounds Igloo Village. Dog
sledding, traveling to frozen fjords, visiting deserted villages, and
sleeping in an icy cave are just a few of the things you can do at this
cold weather destination. Hopefully the local bears won’t realize
you’re a tourist and eat you out of spite. [Igloo Village]
3) Some people are skipping their cruise to the Caribbean and opting
to sail to a Texas-sized patch of floating trash in the Pacific Ocean
instead. For about $10,000 per person, you can head to the Great
Pacific Garbage Patch — famous for its high concentrations of
plastic waste, chemical sludge, and debris trapped by the currents
of the North Pacific Gyre (a swirling pattern of oceanic currents).
Vacationers help operate a trawl that collects microscopic plastic
particles that threaten local wildlife and haul bigger heaps of junk
offshore. [Great Pacific Garbage Patch]
4) Rio Tinto, or Red River as it translates, is a river in Andalucía famed
for its colored water. The unusual river is one of the places on
Earth that most closely resembles the surface of Mars. The site
along the river is full of copper, silver, gold, iron and has been
heavily mined since ancient times. The river's water is dense due
to the metals it carries and it has low oxygen content. [Rio Tinto,
Spain]
5) Alnwick is home to about 100 killer plants like Atropa belladonna
(deadly nightshade), Strychnos nux-vomica (strychnine), and
 Conium maculatum (hemlock). The garden has a license to grow
things like cannabis, which is kept behind bars in a giant cage.
Another attraction Alnwick is popular for is the castle on the same
grounds that was a stand-in for Hogwarts in several of the Harry
Potter films. [Alnwick Poison Garden]
6) The world’s only indoor beach was located in Miyazaki, Japan. It
shut down in 2007, but during its 14-year run the Ocean Dome saw
up to 1.25 million visitors per year. The Dome featured a fake
volcano, fake sand, fake fish and fauna, a steady 86 degrees
Fahrenheit, and water park rides. The vast man-made beach
measured around 984 feet long and had a retractable roof that
sported a permanent blue sky. [Seagaia Ocean Dome]
