China is a place of wonders and marvels, so you should expect everything and anything while traveling to this magical destination. With so many of the world’s records and such a deep and invigorating contrast, China will surely amaze you. Where else in the world could you find the Gate of Heaven and walk through it? The place we are talking about is truly inspiring and deserves this overwhelming name. The Heaven’s Gate is a natural cave arch, formed through millions of years of erosion. This huge window in the sky is one of the best landmarks of the country and will surely awe anyone who sets his or her eyes upon the arch.

Honestly, you probably won’t find true heaven in this place and there are probably other ways to make sure you make it to the real heaven, but while on earth, it is one of those places that could be described as a natural heaven. But enough with these words of wisdom and let’s get back to the point. This enormous natural arch is located in the northern Hunan province of China, just 8 km south of the city of Zhangjiajie (formerly known as Dayong, if it helps you). This place might be known as the Heaven’s Gate, but the road leading to this exceptional natural site could as well be named the Highway to Hell.

To reach the summit where this arch is located, you first have to take the skytram, which, by the way, may be the longest in the world at over 7 km. Then you take a bus on a very winding road, taking you closer to the peak. As if this was not enough, you will also have to climb some stairs. Don’t worry though, it’s not like there are thousands of stairs to climb…there are just 999. But the view and sight of the Heaven’s Gate will be worth any sacrifice and effort. The panorama you have from the top is truly inspiring and fascinating; with the light passing through the arch and lighting the distant mountain peaks.

The Devastation Trail at Hawaii’s Volcanoes National Park owes its birth to the 1959 eruption of the Kilauea volcano.  Between Nov. 14 and Dec, 20, 1959 the volcano spewed hot, naughty lava all over the nearby lands. By the time the eruption was over, the lush rain forest that stretched across the area was completely devastated, with trees burnt to a crisp and cooling lava everywhere.

Today, the devastation Trail is a paved half-mile road that straddles the edge of the devastated lands.The trail is fairly easy to hike and can be completed round-trip in 45 minutes. The trail is free to hike so go see it before “life” manages to find a way to encroach on the pristine lifeless environment.

Just 23 miles (37 km) west of Austin, Texas, there’s a hidden swimming hole. Well it was hidden prior to the ’60s, before automobiles became available to the common man, after which kids flocked to this previously inaccessible place like to Woodstock, and for much the same reasons. Hamilton Pool’s popularity quickly soared and the sheer volume of visitors hurt the surrounding land and ecosystem.

In 1980, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department cited Hamilton Pool as the most significant natural area in rural Travis County and in 1990 this historic swimming hole was designated a preserve. The area was revitalized with a strict land management plan, and a lot of the traffic subsided because of the restrictions like: no alcohol, access until 6pm, and even on swimming (though most of the time swimming is allowed).

Now the Hamilton Pool Nature Preserve is again (somewhat) hidden, and a trip there is well worth it. Thousands of years of water erosion created a unique natural area that gets most Disney animators thinking about a career change.

With ridiculously addictive games on your phone like Candy Crush draining power in a matter of minutes, you probably wish you had the old Nokia with its year-long battery life. But everyone has that idea, and if you and everyone else starts carrying the old phone around, you’re not going to be cool anymore! No, better stick to your individuality with the iPhone or the new Galaxy and get a pocket power generator instead.

Eton’s BoostTurbine 2000 is a pocket-sized, hand-powered rechargeable lithium backup battery. Hand cranking that bad-boy for one minute can produce enough power for about 4 minutes of talk time. And when the BoostTurbine 2000 is fully charged, you’ll have enough power to completely refill most smartphone batteries.

With a micro-USB DC input and a standard USB port, you can charge just about anything while looking like an environmentally friendly hipster.

The OUTEX kit offers a complete solution for most SLR camera brands, including covers, optical lens, viewfinder, and the base accessories you need to get you started snapping underwater photos of all those silly fish. The kits cost around $200 depending the camera you are trying to fit, which is a lot cheaper than dropping my goddamn brand new iPhone into the pool.

As the case with Lake Hillier, Lake Retba’s pink color stems from its tiny inhabitants. The lake’s high salt content creates a perfect environment for the salt-loving Dunaliella salina micro-algae, which glow pink as a result of their ability to produce large amounts of organic pink pigments known as Carotenoids. The micro-algae is completely harmless to humans, which makes swimming in Lake Retba entirely possible.

The best time to visit Lake Retba is during the dry season, which lasts from November to June, when increased exposure to the sun causes the bacteria to produce the most red pigment. The lake is becoming a more popular tourist destination and the number of accommodations near the lake is increasing. There are several hotels around the lake and the number of organized tours from Dakar is growing as well. On the downside, visitors to Lake Retba need to be aware of opportunistic swindlers who try to capitalize on foreigners through gouging and in some cases theft.

Much like other pink lakes, Lake Rebta is separated from the ocean by a few hundred meters. At one point, Retba was connected to the ocean but over time was cut off by encroaching sands. By being cut off from the ocean’s water supply, Retba’s water would evaporate faster than it could be replenished, causing the salinity of the lake to increase over time. Today the lake has approximately the same salinity as the Dead Sea.

‘Should we go for a swim first, or should we go straight for the Jacuzzi?’ – It’s always been a hard decision to make, but thanks to one rebellious soul unwilling to enjoy these activities successively, you can now do both at the same time! Grab 5 of your “friends” and hit the lake in your very own Hot Tub Boat.

Hot Tub Boat is capable of reaching 5 mph in calm waters, and is controlled much in the same way a jet fighter is – with a joystick. And with 4 ice chests for your refreshments, and a waterproof stereo with two 50-watt speakers for your music, it’s the perfect party boat. We’re just wondering why it’s not amphibious?
