🍽 Sky Vanke Restaurant in Shanghai is one of the world’s most breathtaking culinary attractions, perched high above the city in a skyscraper where guests enjoy exquisite cuisine literally among the clouds, while panoramic glass walls offer breathtaking views of Shanghai’s glittering skyline in every direction.

🌆 Fun fact: Shanghai is the world leader in the number of skyscrapers taller than 200 meters - there are more here than in any other city on the planet, and the panoramic restaurants and observation decks at their peaks have become an integral part of the city’s culture, attracting millions of tourists from around the world every year.

🌿 Kaieteur Falls in Guyana is the world’s tallest single-drop waterfall, where the mighty Potaro River plunges 226 meters into the pristine Amazon jungle, and this spectacular sight is four times taller than the famous Niagara Falls, yet remains one of the least-visited natural wonders on the entire planet.

🐸 Fun fact: the tiny golden frog Oreophrinella - an endemic species found nowhere else on Earth - lives in the spray and damp rocks at the base of Iguazu Falls. It survives solely thanks to the constant mist from the waterfall and is a living symbol of the unique ecosystem of this remote corner of South America.

🌊 The Faroe Islands are an archipelago lost in the waters of the North Atlantic, where waterfalls literally plunge straight into the ocean from sheer basalt cliffs, and the most famous of them - Bøsdalafossur - plunges from the high-altitude lake Sørvágsvatn, which seems to hang over the sea, creating one of the most surreal landscapes on Earth.

🌀 Fun fact: Lake Sørvágsvatn, from which the waterfall flows, is located just 30 meters above sea level, but due to an optical illusion created by the rocky terrain, in photographs it appears to hover several hundred meters above the ocean - this image has become one of the most talked-about “optical illusions” on the internet.

💦 Huangfosu Waterfall is China’s most famous waterfall and one of the world’s natural wonders. It is unique in that it can be viewed from six sides at once: from above and below, from the front and back, and from the left and right - no other waterfall on the planet offers such a complete and breathtaking spectacle.

🌊 Fun fact: Behind Huangfosu’s curtain of water lies a real cave about 134 meters long with several viewing windows - tourists can walk right through the falling water and observe the waterfall from the inside, making this place truly one-of-a-kind.

🦘 Sydney is Australia’s oldest and second-largest city. It was founded on January 26, 1788, by British Captain Arthur Phillip as a penal colony and named after Lord Sydney, the British Home Secretary who signed the order for the expedition.

🎶 Fun fact: The famous Sydney Opera House, which has become a symbol of the city and all of Australia, took 14 years to build instead of the planned four, cost $102 million instead of the estimated $7 million, and its architect, Jørn Utzon, never saw the completed building in person—he left the project in 1966 due to a conflict with the authorities and never returned to Australia.
