From underground living to quirky names, click through to check out some of the world’s most unusual towns.。

1. Longyearbyen, Norway。

Looking for the world’s northernmost church, university, ATM, or even blues festival? Check out this chilly Arctic town, located on an island just 600 miles from the North Pole. With months。

of darkness and a seemingly perpetual blanket of snow, it’s no wonder that so many of Longyearbyen’s 2,000 residents paint their homes such vibrant colors. Indeed, the striking contrast between。

the white snow and the colorful homes makes this sleepy town wonderfully unusual!。

2. Coober Pedy, Australia。

In a place where temperatures regularly soar into the 90s and the 100s in the summer, it’s understandable that the residents of Coober Pedy, Australia would do anything they can to beat the。

heat. And, here, it’s all about living underground. Often referred to as the ”opal capital of the world,” more than half of this mining town’s residents live in homes in dug out caves on the。

hillsides, where temperatures are steady and a cool relief from the scorching heat outside. Building a “dugout” costs about the same as building a home on the surface, with the added bonus of。

not having to worry about all those high energy bills from air conditioning. Also underground? Shops, churches, and even a four star hotel!。

3. Maharishi Vedic City, Iowa。

Oprah Winfrey dubbed this small town, and its neighbor, Fairfield, as the most unusual in the United States. And it’s no surprise why — the rolling farmland of Iowa is one of the last places。

you might expect to be the epicenter of transcendental meditation. Incorporated just over a decade ago, the town was designed using the concepts of Maharishi Sthapatya Veda, an ancient。

architectural design form based on Sanskrit texts. Most residents practice transcendental meditation at least twice a day. Non-organic food is banned by the city, which also runs its own。

organic farm.。

4. Neft Dashlari, Azerbaijan。

Thirty-five miles off the coast of the mainland in the Caspian Sea lies the town of Neft Dashlari, population 5,000. But this is no island; rather, the town sits on an oil platform. The first。

operating offshore oil platform in the world, the residents of Neft Dashlari can enjoy the tree-filled park, bakery, library, and community center, when they’re not working in the oil industry。

or relaxing in their dormitory. As more and more oil deposits have been discovered, it’s grown bigger; there are nearly 200 miles of roadway built on top of landfill and dirt on this manmade。

island.

5. Hell, Michigan。

Does Hell freeze over? Well, Hell, Michigan certainly does! No one is quite sure where this town got its, erm, devilish name. One thing is for sure, though — Hell, Michigan residents sure do。

embrace the name! In Hell, you’ll find businesses like Hell in a Handbasket, a general store called Hell’s Kitchen, a restaurant, and Screams, an ice cream shop. Tourists can also play。

mini-golf, get married at the Hell chapel and even be the mayor for a day — all the more reason to go to Hell!。

6. CITE, New Mexico。

Like any other town in the United States, the soon-to-be-built CITE will be full of highways, roads, homes, and commercial buildings. There will be an urban center, as well as suburban and。

rural areas. Homes have appliances and plumbing, the city has electricity. But nobody will live in CITE, or The Center for Innovation, Testing & Evaluation. A company called Pegasus。

Holdings is planning to build a mid-sized city not for living, but for testing green energy, transportation, wireless infrastructure, and first responder technology projects, among others.。

Modeled after Rock Hill, South Carolina, a city of over 65,000 people, this $1 billion project will allow for testing without interfering with everyday life in the real world.。

7. Thames Town, China。

Twenty miles outside of Shanghai you’ll find a taste of merry old England. Built in just three years, Thames Town is modeled after a traditional English market town, and features a。

century-spanning pastiche of English architecture. Mostly comprised of single-family homes that were snapped up by investors and for use as second homes, a large percentage of the homes are not。

occupied full-time. And it’s not the only western-themed development in the Shanghai area — you’ll also find German, Dutch, Swedish, and Italian towns, among others.。

英国7个最著名的地标景点1.Big Ben 大本钟。

The iconic clock tower housing the bell known as Big Ben is one of the most recognizable sights in London, poised as it is on the bank of the Thames River, highlighting both the Houses of。

Parliament and Westminster Abbey. While the tower is not open to foreign visitors, the clock can be enjoyed and photographed from several angles at ground level and makes an excellent addition。

to a visit of nearby Westminster Abbey. There are often choral performances in the Abbey at four or five o’clock, dovetailing nicely with a visit to Big Ben.。

2.Tower Bridge 塔桥。

While not the famed London Bridge of the nursery rhyme, Tower Bridge is the city’s most ornate and recognizable bridge. Spanning the Thames with its dual towers and marking the site of the。

infamous Tower of London, Tower Bridge can be enjoyed by crossing its span in one of London’s ubiquitous taxi cabs, although it is best admired from the water. Visitors can book one of the many。

tour boats that cruise the Thames, beginning at the Houses of Parliament and ending at Tower Bridge, with incredible glimpses of famous city sights like St. Paul’s Cathedral and the Globe。

Theatre along the way.。

3.Stonehenge 巨石阵

While certainly not the only stone circle in Britain, Stonehenge is the most famous, its compelling and atmospheric ruins offering a facet view of life in England’s mysterious past. Easily。

reached from London, Stonehenge makes a wonderful day trip, where visitors can tour the site and learn about its prehistoric builders at the nearby museum. Each June 21st, marking the Solstice,。

visitors are allowed to wander freely among the stones. Stonehenge forms only one part of a vast temple complex, as the Salisbury Plain is littered with ceremonial sites. The nearby and much。

older Woodhenge makes an interesting side trip of a visit to Stonehenge.。

4.Windsor Castle温莎城堡。

While Buckingham Palace is the residence of the Monarch while in London, Windsor Castle is the family home, even giving the current royal family their surname. Located just outside London,。

the castle hails from the time of William the Conqueror, and its resplendent state rooms filled with priceless art and historic treasures are open to the public. Visitors can also tour St.。

George’s Chapel, where the tombs of King Henry VIII, Queen Jane Seymour and other notable figures of British history can be found. At certain times of the day, visitors may be lucky enough to。

enjoy the formal Changing of the Guards.。

5.White Cliffs of Dover多佛白悬崖。

One of the most iconic sights in all of Britain, the White Cliffs of Dover rise high above the sea in gracefully undulating swells of brilliant white limestone chalk, creating an imposing。

natural wall that extends for miles along the coast of Kent. Punctuated by pretty lighthouses and the sprawling outline of Dover Castle, the area holds a range of enticing sights. You can。

wander along the pathways that line the cliffs and admire the sea crashing several hundred feet below or try to catch a glimpse of the coast of France across the Channel on a clear day.。

6.St. Michael’s Mount圣迈克尔山。

On the Cornwall peninsula that forms the southernmost point of the British Isles, St. Michael’s Mount is a tidal island that offers a magical pathway from the mainland that is exposed as the。

tide recedes. The earliest buildings on the island date to 800 years ago, but developments in the 16th and 17th centuries gave the island its present form. An appealing castle can be explored,。

and the pretty gardens that frame the building house semi-tropical plants that grow in Cornwall’s relatively balmy climate. Visits to the Mount must be timed to the tides, and the coastal。

villages near the Mount offer a glimpse of England’s maritime past and offer quaint tea shops and pubs.。

7.Durdle Door杜德尔门。

This graceful limestone arch forms a spectacular focal point along the English county of Dorset’s famed Jurassic Coast. Golden sand frames a gentle bay where the rocky escarpment juts into。

the sea. An idyllic pathway winds down to the Durdle Door from West Lulworth, offering expansive views not only of the many interesting formations that line the coast, but also the limestone。

cliffs and vast, unforgettable views of the ocean. Thought to be named for the Old English word for “drill,” the Durdle Door has been the subject of poetry and art for more than a thousand。

years and makes a wonderful outdoor destination to visit.。
