20 Most Unbelievable Places on this Earth

20 Most Unbelievable Places on this Earth!!

Now days we are much more curious about Mars rather than our own Planet " The Earth". Most of the places on our planet has already been discovered and documented, but there are plenty of places which are unseen and yet to be well documented.



Let's put all these facts aside and Talk about 20 Most Unbelievable Places on this Earth. All these photographs have been captured by various photographers around the world and which may put you in a doubt that these places actually exist.



1.Antelope Canyon, USA

Possibly the most-visited and most-photographed slot canyon in the American Southwest, Antelope Canyon  is located on Navajo land near Page, Arizona.
Rainwater, especially during monsoon season, runs into the extensive basin above the slot canyon sections, picking up speed and sand as it rushes into the narrow passageways making it one of the most photogenic scenarios.

2.Bamboo Forest, Japan


The Sagano Bamboo Forest is located to the northwest in Kyoto Basin, Japan, covering an area of 16 square kilometers. It is one of the most beautiful natural environment in entire Japan, not only because of its natural beauty but also because of the sound the wind makes as it blows through the thick bamboo grove.

3. Black Forest, Germany


The Black Forest is not only one of the most varied, but also one of the biggest and best known holiday regions in Germany. The site is more than 200km long and 60 km wide. The dense growth of conifers in the forest blocks out most of the light inside the forest. The Black Forest is the birthplace of skiing in central Europe, with the first ski club being founded at the Feldberg Mountain that rises to a height of 1,493 meters. It was here that the first wooden skis were produced and the first ski lift built. Today, the Feldberg region is one of the largest ski resorts outside of the Alps. 

4.Canola Flower Field, China


The canola flower fields in China are one of the world’s beautiful sites in small Luoping (Yunnan, China). Vast farmlands get covered in golden, yellow rapeseed flowers stretching as far as the eyes can see, all the way to the horizon.

Luoping County in the east part of Yunnan Province is one of China’s primary canola production bases, as well as a base or bee raising and honey collection. Where there are canola flowers, there are bound to be bees. Bees in the area live on the canola flower pollen and see to it that each year has a good harvest.


5.Mount Roraima, South America


Mount Roraima (mountain, South America) giant flat-topped mountain, or mesa, in the Pakaraima, the 31 square kilometer summit area of Mount Roraima is defined by 400 meter tall cliffs on all sides and includes at the point where the boundaries of Brazil, Venezuela, and Guyana meet. 


The tabletop mountains of the Pakaraima are considered some of the oldest geological formations on Earth, dating back to some two billion years ago. The result is the staggering landscape of Mount Roraima. Angel falls is located on a similar tabletop mountain some 130 miles away. 



6.Hang Son Doong, Vietnam


Vietnam's Hang Son Doong cave is the largest in the world, with caverns big enough to fit an entire city street inside them. 

The cave is located near the Laos-Vietnam border. The cave has an underground river running through the first 1.6 miles (2.5 kilometers) of the limestone cavern, as well as giant stalagmites more than 230 feet (70 meters) high. At 262-by-262 feet (80-by-80 meters) in most places, the Son Doong cave beats out the previous world-record holder, Deer Cave in the Malaysian section of the island of Borneo. Deer Cave is no less than 300-by-300 feet (91-by-91 meters), but it's only about a mile (1.6 kilometers) long. 


7.Hitachi Seaside Park, Japan

The blooming period is called “Nemophilia Harmony” and is a sight to relish, about a million daffodils (narcissus) bloom in the Suisen garden amidst pine trees. 


8.Lavender Fields, Provence, France

The crust is comprised of salt and covers a sea of brine that ranges from 7 to 66 feet (2 to 20 m) deep. Collectively, the Salar de Uyuni accounts for between 50 to 70% of the world's lithium reserves.

The absolutely breathtaking walking on water illusion is something that is very unique to the salt flats found in Salar De Uyuni, Bolivia.

10.Tunnel of Love, Ukraine

McGinnis. As it peters out, it disappears under the icy border of the Mendenhall Glacier.The water tunnels its way underneath the glacier, assisted only by the movement of air, forming the ice caves. There are chunks of ice hanging there ready to fall.

14.Naica Mine, Mexico


The Naica Mine of the Mexican state of Chihuahua is a working mine that is best known for its extraordinary selenite crystals. 

Surprisingly, The Naica mine gets hotter as you go down because it lies above an intrusion of magma about a mile below the surface. Within the cave itself, the temperature goes as high as 112 degrees Fahrenheit with 90 to 100 percent humidity—hot enough that each visit carries the risk of heatstroke.

15.Red Beach, China

The Red Beach is located in the Liaohe River delta, near Panjin City, China. It is based in the biggest wetland and reed marsh in the world. The sand itself isn’t red. The red is caused by a type of sea weed that grows abundantly in the saline-alkali soil. In autumn, this weed turns flaming red, and the beach looks as if it was covered by an infinite red carpet that creates a rare red sea landscape.

18.Door to Hell

The Door to Hell is a natural gas field in Derweze (also spelled Darvaza, meaning "gate"), Ahal Province, Turkmenistan.

ZhangyeDanxia Landform is literally a massive piece of art that spans more than 400 square kilometers in the Linze and Sunan counties of the Gansu Province in northwest China. The unusual colors of the rocks are the result of red sandstone and mineral deposits being laid down over 24 million years. The resulting 'layer cake' was then buckled by the same tectonic plates responsible for parts of the Himalayan mountains.
