The Neuschwanstein castle

Neuschwanstein Castle is a 19th-century neo-romanticist palace on a rugged hill above the village of Hohenschwangau near Füssen in southwest Bavaria, Germany. The palace was commissioned by Ludwig II of Bavaria as a retreat and as an homage to Richard Wagner.
The palace was intended as a personal refuge for the reclusive king, but it was opened to the paying public right after his death in 1886.Since that time over 60 million people have visited Neuschwanstein Castle.More than 1.3 million people visit annually, with up to 6,000 per day in the summer.The palace has appeared prominently in several movies and was the inspiration for Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty Castle.

Maldives

Maldives is one of the top diving holiday destinations in the world. This amazing archipelago of over 1100 islands is home to a wide variety of dive sites and an even wider variety of marine life. While there is an extensive diversity of reef-dwelling fish and smaller marine creatures, the real attraction of this diving holiday destination is the larger oceanic species that can be found here, including the whale shark, manta ray, eagle ray, grey reef shark, napoleon wrasse and several other shark species. The Maldives is one of the few diving holiday destinations where divers can enjoy whale shark encounters throughout the year.

3 famous Maldives dive sites:
1. Banana Reef
The first Maldives dive site ever discovered, Banana Reef remains among the most exciting. In the depths of Banana Reef, expect to see gutters, caves and overhangs teeming with tender coral and extravagant fish-life variety. Watch out for the superbly named oriental sweetlips and giant squirrelfish among other luminaries. Beware underwater turbulence.

2. Sunlight Thila
Sunlight Thila consists of two reefs that lure giant manta rays between March and October, when southern winds whisk carpets of tasty plankton into the area. Between the reefs, the 70-metre long sand base sports coral formations that attract brightly coloured wrass. Manta rays also roll up in strength. In a single session, you may see as many as 10 mantas, along with beginner divers and veterans alike.

3. Cocoa Corner
For one of the best freestyle shark shows around in the Maldives, head to Cocoa Corner. With luck, you will be greeted by scores of Grey Reef Sharks in the shape of big mothers and newborn babies on outings together. Eagle rays and schooling jack fish also enter the picture.

Mount Kinabalu

Mount Kinabalu is a prominent mountain in Southeast Asia. It is located in Kinabalu National Park which is a World Heritage Site in the east Malaysia state of Sabah. It is the 4th tallest mountain in Asia.

In 1997, a re-survey using satellite technology established its summit height at 4,095 metres above sea level, which is some 6 metres less than the previously thought and hitherto published figure of 4,101 metres.

The mountain and its surroundings are among the most important biological sites in the world, with over 600 species of ferns, 326 species of birds, and 100 mammalian species identified. Among them are the gigantic Rafflesia plants and the orangutan. Mount Kinabalu has been accorded UNESCO World Heritage status.

The main peak of the mountain can be climbed quite easily by a person in peak physical condition. If not fit enough, though, the climb can be very hard despite there being no need for mountaineering equipment at any point on the main route. Other peaks along the massif, however, require rock climbing skills.
