Famous pirates of the Caribbean, next to whom the movie Jack Sparrow is just a boy

The beauty of modern architecture, of course, is not for everybody, but the panoramas with a scattering of luminous skyscrapers cannot but impress.

I invite you to look at the most impressive city panoramas that reveal all the beauty of cities. And all the greatness of big cities, as we know, can only be appreciated from a bird’s eye view and non-standard points.

Shanghai, China
One of the most densely populated metropolitan areas in the world with a population of 22 million people. Since the 1990s, Shanghai has experienced an incredible construction boom, with more than 7,000 high-rise buildings constructed in the past 20 years. The tallest building in the city, the Shanghai World Financial Center, has 101 floors. The most interesting building is, perhaps, the Oriental Pearl TV Tower.

New York, USA
The Manhattan skyline is one of the most recognizable in the world. The main highlight of the city's buildings is the Empire State skyscraper, built in 1930; until 1972 it was the tallest building in New York. This title now belongs to the recently completed One World Trade Center, which was built on the site of the fall of the Twin Towers.

London, Great Britain
Despite the fact that London cannot boast of a large number of high-rise buildings, its panorama is no less interesting. The city's architecture spans several centuries, from historic landmarks such as Big Ben, the Palace of Westminster and Tower Bridge to recent architectural creations including the London Eye and the triangular skyscraper The Shard.

Dubai, UAE
Dubai holds the world record for the number of buildings taller than 250 meters. Some 70 years ago there was a bare desert here, but after oil was discovered in the UAE, the capital began to grow by leaps and bounds. The main architectural achievement of Dubai was the Burj Khalifa skyscraper, currently the tallest building in the world.

Vancouver, Canada
Thanks to sound urban planning policies, Vancouver has been considered one of the most livable cities for many years. City authorities are increasingly giving preference to high-rise buildings. The tallest building in Vancouver is the Living Shangri-La skyscraper, a 62-storey building with a five-star hotel, offices and apartments.

Hong Kong
Hong Kong boasts one of the most beautiful panoramas in the world. The urban density here is so high that Hong Kong has received the title of the most “vertical city” in the world. The tallest building in the city is the 484-meter International Commerce Center. It also ranks third on the list of tallest buildings in the world.

Singapore
The city-state of Singapore is one of the world's most important financial centers, which could not affect urban development. The city's tallest buildings are located in its historical center. But the most interesting structure is a little to the side, the recently completed luxury Marina Bay Sands hotel, the most expensive building in the world at $5.7 billion.

San Francisco, USA
San Francisco is the second most densely populated city in the United States, after New York. The most recognizable structure in the city is, of course, the Golden Gate Bridge. But the dominant place in the San Francisco skyline is occupied by the Transamerica skyscraper - a low building, but with a very recognizable spire. Due to frequent earthquakes, the city tries not to build very tall buildings.

Istanbul, Türkiye
The city panorama of Istanbul harmoniously combines old and new architecture. The highest point of the city is Kamlica Hill, where the newest mosque will soon be built.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
The architecture of Kuala Lumpur combines modern trends with ancient Asian traditions, and the famous Petronas Towers, made in the “Islamic style,” have become the hallmark of the city.

Seattle, USA
The Seattle skyline is well recognized by the Space Needle observation tower. It is built to withstand hurricanes with wind speeds of up to 320 km/h and earthquakes of up to 9.1. And the largest building in the city is the Starbucks headquarters, its area is more than 186,000 sq.m.

Paris, France
The authorities of Paris make great efforts to preserve the unique appearance of the city; because of this, there are practically no tall buildings in the historical center. The only exceptions are the lonely Eiffel Tower and the Montparnasse skyscraper. All high-rise construction is concentrated in the La Défense quarter.

Panama, Panama
The Panama City skyline is changing quickly. In the near future it will look completely different: about 100 high-rise projects are under construction.

Philadelphia, USA
Philadelphia's development is one of the oldest and most historically significant in the country. For example, here is Independence Hall, the building where the US Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776. One of the city's laws requires that no new building be taller than City Hall. For this reason, until 1987, when the law was finally repealed, Philadelphia remained a city without high-rise buildings.

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Although Rio is best known for the Christ the Redeemer statue on Mount Corcovado, the architecture of the city itself is also noteworthy. The list of tallest buildings in the city is topped by the 40-story Rio Sul shopping center.

Beijing, China
Beijing has served as the country's capital since the 13th century. While the most famous attractions in Beijing are the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven, there are also excellent examples of modern architecture to be found here. For example, the tallest building in the city is the 3rd tower of the China World Trade Center, or the CCTV headquarters building, which has a very unusual shape.

Toronto, Canada
Against the backdrop of the skyline of the largest Canadian metropolis, one building stands out - the CN Tower - the symbol of the city and the tallest building in the world from 1976 until 2007. The tower lost this title to the previously mentioned skyscraper Burj Khalifa. CN Tower is only 13 meters higher than the Ostankino TV tower.

Taipei, Taiwan
In the center of Taipei stands one of the tallest buildings in the world, the 509-meter skyscraper Taipei 101. The danger of collapse during a hurricane or earthquake is reduced by a huge 660-ton pendulum ball placed between the 87th and 91st floors. According to engineers, the tower will be able to withstand an earthquake of such magnitude that it occurs in this area once every 2,500 years.

Sydney, Australia
The Sydney skyline is well recognized mainly due to the distinctive outline of the Sydney Opera House. The building was built in 1973 and was included in the UNESCO list a few years ago. In addition to the harbor and downtown skyscrapers, Sydney also boasts some historic buildings dating back to the early 19th century.

Moscow
The architecture of our capital spans several centuries, starting with St. Basil's Cathedral, built in the mid-16th century, ending with the Moscow City towers with the tallest skyscraper in Europe (Mercury City Tower). Over the past 20 years, Moscow has been experiencing a construction boom, which, unfortunately, often leads to the demolition of historical monuments, which in turn causes a wave of criticism against local authorities.

Warsaw Poland
The long-suffering capital of Poland was destroyed and rebuilt several times, which affected its current appearance. Warsaw grew mainly outward, not upward. The tallest building in the city, and in the whole country, the “Stalinist high-rise” Palace of Culture and Science, has held this title since 1955.

Miami, USA
Dominating the Miami skyline is the 64-story Four Seasons Hotel. It is one of 60 high-rise buildings built during the construction boom of the late 90s. However, construction of the 308-meter skyscraper One Bayfront Plaza will begin next year, which is quite surprising, taking into account the very strict restrictions on the height of buildings in Miami, because the busy air route of the local airport passes directly above the city center.

Tokyo, Japan
The capital of Japan is prone to frequent earthquakes, which is why the city is expanding greatly in width rather than upward. Japanese engineers focus more on the quality and technology of construction than on the height of buildings. Recent advances in this area are already allowing the Japanese to erect 40- and even 50-story buildings that are ready to withstand even very strong earthquakes. The tallest building in the city, the Tokyo Skytree, is the tallest tower in the world.

Cairo, Egypt
The largest city in Africa is famous for its minarets and mosques, and even more so for the pyramids of Giza towering on the horizon. Cairo's Skylan is relatively short, with the tallest building being the 39-story Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Bangkok, Thailand
Bangkok was founded in 1782, and has since grown into a huge metropolis and tourism center for all of Southeast Asia. The tallest building in the city is Baiyok Tower 2. From the 5th to 17th floors of the building there is a multi-storey parking lot, from 22 to 74 there are rooms of the Baiyok Sky Hotel - the tallest hotel in Southeast Asia and the third in the world. Apart from the giant skyscrapers in the financial district, Bangkok has well preserved its traditional heritage. For example, the Grand Palace with its many Buddhist temples.

St. Louis, USA
The skyline of St. Louis cannot be confused with any other city thanks to the outline of the Gateway of the West arch. The height of this building is 192 meters, at the very top there is an observation deck. Coincidentally, the arch was built by MacDonald Construction and resembles part of the McDonald's logo.

Buenos Aires, Argentina
The architecture of the Argentine capital is influenced by European traditions. Buenos Aires is even called the Paris of South America. There are a lot of high-rise residential buildings in the city, which is due to the desire of the authorities to provide housing for the city’s huge population: 12 million people in the suburbs. The tallest building in the city, the 44-story Torre Cavia skyscraper, is also residential.

Jakarta, Indonesia
In Jakarta, ultra-modern buildings coexist with traditional Indonesian architecture. The tourism boom of recent years has spurred the active construction of nightclubs and luxury hotels, the tallest of which was the Ciputra World Hotel, built last year. And the most beautiful building is, without a doubt, Wisma 46, with an open silver spire and a turquoise facade.

The authorship of the term “sky line” belongs to academician Dmitry Likhachev - in 1989, in his article “Sky line of the city on the Neva”, he noted that St. Petersburg owes its unique appearance in many ways to the horizontal perspective, which is uncharacteristic for large cities: “Horizontals create the basis on which all other lines are drawn. In English there is the concept of skyline. This is not a horizon line in our sense of the word. The meaning of skyline is broader: it includes the line connecting the mountains and the sky (where, from our point of view, there is no horizon), the lines of houses and the sky, and so on. The jagged, seemingly trembling line of houses against the sky creates an impression of ghostliness, ephemerality.”

It is thanks to this feature of urban development that it is enough to rise to a height of 50 meters to see the city in full view. For this purpose, adventure lovers make their way to the rooftops of houses in the city center, which, of course, is interesting, but unsafe. And the most desperate extreme sports enthusiasts are ready to climb the TV tower or the dome of the Cathedral Mosque for the sake of adrenaline and a couple of impressive photographs.

But there are many completely legal ways to see the Northern capital, if not from a bird’s eye view, then certainly from the height of the same mosque. the site offers a selection of places where the most picturesque view of the city opens and there is an opportunity to take good pictures.

Colonnade of St. Isaac's Cathedral

Isaac's Square, 4

From 10.30 to 18.00 from May 1 to October 31 daily, from November 1 to April 30 the day off is the first and third Wednesday of the month.
Evening colonnade from 18.00 to 22.30 (from May 1 to October 31).
Colonnade of the “White Nights” from 18.00 to 4.30 (valid from June 1 to August 20, on Wednesdays from 10.30 to 22.30)

St. Isaac's Cathedral is a cult place for St. Petersburg tourists. The height of the entire building is 101 meters, and the small colonnade is located at a height of 43 meters. Entrance will cost 150 rubles, and you will have to climb the colonnade on foot along a spiral staircase. In 2012, a special elevator was equipped for people with disabilities.

From here you have a view of St. Isaac's Square and the central part of the city, including the famous “Nevsky Triangle”: Nevsky and Voznesensky Avenues and Gorokhovaya Street.

In the summer season, you can climb the colonnade in the evening and at night - at this time the panorama of the Neva is especially beautiful, and if you get the timing right, you can admire the bridges from above.

In the summer, people are allowed into the colonnade of Isaac day and night. Photo: AiF / Ksenia Matveeva

An overnight climb will cost twice as much - 300 rubles. Photography and video shooting are permitted without the use of a tripod or additional lighting.

Belfry of Smolny Cathedral

Rastrelli Square, 1

From 10.30 to 18.00, day off - Wednesday

Just the path to the belfry of the legendary cathedral, built at the behest of Elizabeth Petrovna in the 18th-19th centuries, can already be called an adventure. After climbing the stairs, you have to go through several tiers of vaulted ceilings to finally reach the bell platform. Along the way you will hear Baroque music - it plays here all the time. Walking through the attic rooms, you can study the unique structures of Rastrelli’s time, the roofing structure, ancient brickwork and screeds. The gloomy beauty of these passages attracts almost as many people who want to take pictures as the observation deck.

This is the highest publicly accessible observation point in the center of the Northern capital, it is located at an altitude of 50 meters, and there are 227 steps leading to it. The site offers a panoramic view of the Neva bend, the Resurrection Smolny Monastery and the Smolny Institute, and the excavations of the Nyenschanz fortress are visible.

Access to the belfry during the day with an 18-minute audio tour will cost only 100 rubles, but you won’t be able to get here at night.

Bell tower of the Peter and Paul Cathedral

Peter and Paul Fortress, Cathedral Square, 1

Sessions: 11.30, 13.00, 14.30, 16.00 from May 1 to September 30, day off - Wednesday
By request: from October 1 to April 30

The bell tower, topped with the famous spire with an angel, is only a meter shorter than the colonnade of St. Isaac's Cathedral - its height is 42 meters. The observation deck is located on the second of three tiers of the attic. Most likely, you won't be able to take a great photo because the view is blocked by the bells and netting. But this hardly interferes with admiring the city.

You won't be able to climb the spire, but you can wander around the bell tower. Photo: Commons.wikimedia.org

From January 1 to April 30 and from October 1 to December 31, you can only go here as part of an excursion group of up to 10 people. From May 1 to September 30, you can visit the bell tower on your own for 150 rubles.

From here you can see Vasilyevsky Island and the Petrogradskaya Side, and on the other side - the Admiralteyskaya and Dvortsovaya embankments. On the way to the bell tower and under its vault, you can also see a small exhibition dedicated to its construction, protection during World War II and subsequent restoration. You can go to the bell tower on any day except Wednesday.

Photo salon of Karl Bulla

Nevsky Prospekt, 54

Every day from 10.00 to 20.00

The panorama of Nevsky Prospekt is best admired from above. Photo: www.russianlook.com The lowest, but also the cheapest observation deck in the center of St. Petersburg. The famous studio of the photographer was located on the top floor of the building at 54 Nevsky Prospekt at the beginning of the 20th century. Now the premises are occupied by a photo studio owned by the Karl Bulla Foundation for Historical Photography. There is a small museum of the work of the previous owner here and sometimes photo exhibitions are held.

Bulla himself often photographed views of St. Petersburg from the windows of the photo studio. There remains a spacious observation balcony under the roof itself, from which there is a view of Nevsky Prospekt and Sadovaya Street, Ostrovsky Square and the building of the Russian National Library.

You can admire the view for 50 rubles, but Bulla’s enterprising descendants do not allow photography for free. Amateur photography of a panorama of Nevsky Prospekt costs 100 rubles, and professional photography costs 1000.

Leader Tower Business Center

Constitution Square, 7

Perhaps the first building in St. Petersburg to surpass the height of the 121-meter Peter and Paul Cathedral is the Leader Tower skyscraper not far from the Moskovskaya metro station. The height of the 40-story building is 140 meters, and on the top floor this spring a panoramic restaurant was opened, from which you can go onto the roof of the building.

There is an observation deck on the roof, which offers views of Constitution Square and the city center, as well as the Pulkovo Heights.

Roof of the loft project “Floors”

Ligovsky Prospekt, 74

From 9.00 to 21.00 all year round, seven days a week

The loft project, located in the former building of the Smolninsky bakery, initially offered visitors only access to the fourth floor terrace, but in 2012 it decided to take advantage of its location and launched the “Roof” project.

Ligovsky Prospekt can be viewed from a height of 25 meters. Photo: loft project "Floors"

You can go upstairs for 250 rubles if you arrive after 11.00, and from 09.00 to 11.00 admission is completely free. From the roof of 1200 square meters you can see Ligovsky Prospekt, Vosstaniya Square and the surrounding area.

Panoramas of the most beautiful places on Earth
(move the mouse)

Stunning 360-degree views with panoramic photography

The guys from Airpano have been photographing the most picturesque corners of our planet for several years now, using high-quality equipment. As a result, they manage to convey such stunning footage, looking at which you understand that you have never seen anything like this in your life. AdMe.ru editorial team I have chosen for you 20 of the most amazing (in the literal and figurative sense of the word) panoramas, after viewing which you will want to pack your bags and book tickets.

Click on the title or picture to open the panorama.

Iguazu is made up of approximately 270 individual waterfalls. Their width reaches 2700 meters, but only in total. All waterfalls are separated from each other by many islands of different sizes, and they are connected by bridges along which you can walk and get a better look at all the flows. The largest waterfall of this cascade bears the ominous name “Devil's Throat” and is the border between Brazil and Argentina. The width of the “throat” is 150 meters, the length is 700 meters. Its shape is more like a horseshoe, and 14 powerful streams flow down it.

The famous Niagara Falls “against the backdrop of Iguazu looks like a stream of water from a kitchen faucet” - these words belong to the wife of American President Franklin Roosevelt, Eleanor. And America's first lady did not exaggerate her impression. The height of Niagara Falls on the Canadian side is 53 meters, and in the USA, due to a pile of stones, it is even 21 meters. Whereas Iguazu throws down its waters from a height of 60-80 meters.

This is the longest underwater cave in Russia, the second longest in Eurasia and the largest underwater cave in the world in gypsum. It was given the status of a natural monument of an all-Russian scale. The Orda Cave is located on the southwestern outskirts of the village of Orda, Perm Territory, on the left bank of the Kungur River. Found in gypsum and anhydrite of Permian age. Consists of a “dry” and underwater part. The length of the dry part is 300 meters, the underwater part is 5150 meters. Part of the cave is the longest siphon in the CIS - 985 meters. Ordinskaya differs from other underwater caves in the world in that it is made of gypsum, as well as in its low water temperature (+4 degrees Celsius), huge volumes of underground galleries, water transparency, and low turbidity.

Cave photography is considered the most difficult among all underwater subjects. An overhead environment, the inability to surface when you need to, loss of visibility, narrow spaces in which you have to squeeze underwater, complete darkness - this is not a complete list of the difficulties that you have to face when swimming in a cave.

The cameras are launched into near space using balloons filled with helium. The balloon rises to a height of 35-37 kilometers, gradually increasing in size, reaching at this altitude the size of a three-story house, after which it bursts and the cameras land safely on the ground by parachute. Almost complete calmness gave good forecasts for the launch of the probe. There are many factors to consider before launching. Cameras must operate in extremely cold conditions, which can damage batteries and cause lenses to fog up or become covered in ice crystals. Several GPS search beacons fly with the cameras, which can be used to locate the cameras after they land by parachute. They also have refusals. Therefore, the assembly of the entire structure for shooting is done very carefully.

On the 700-meter high Corcovado Mountain stands a gigantic figure of Christ with his arms outstretched over the city, as if blessing this land. Every year, almost 2 million tourists and locals climb to the top of the mountain to take photos in front of the monument “for good luck.” The exact dimensions of the Christ the Redeemer monument in Rio are: height - 38 meters, including the pedestal - 8 meters; weight - 1145 tons, arm span - 30 meters. It is generally accepted that the idea of its creation arose in 1922, when the 100th anniversary of Brazilian independence was celebrated. However, in fact, the history of the statue goes back further. In 1932 and 2000, the night illumination system was modernized. And in 2007, this famous landmark of Rio de Janeiro was chosen as one of the Seven New Wonders of the World.

New York is the most famous city in the USA, and Manhattan in New York is the most famous area. And it all began four hundred years ago, when the loudest and most profitable real estate transaction in the history of mankind was made: for 24 dollars the Indians sold to the Europeans a plot of this land they did not really need. In addition to numerous museums, almost every building here is a monument. Ancient houses combine perfectly with the best examples of modern architecture. It's home to a ton of New York's most famous landmarks, including the aforementioned Empire State Building, Central Park and Times Square. Both the colorful Chinatown and the vibrant Broadway - all this is located on this island.

St. Petersburg is the European “gateway” of Russia, its strategic center, directly bordering the countries of the European Union. This is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, which played an important role in Russian history.

Modern St. Petersburg is an important cultural and industrial center and the largest seaport. Infrastructural development and location make the city both an important trade and center.

The Egyptian pyramids are the greatest architectural monuments of Ancient Egypt, including one of the “seven wonders of the world” - the Pyramid of Cheops and an honorary candidate for the “new seven wonders of the world” - the Pyramids of Giza. Pyramids are huge pyramid-shaped stone structures that were used as tombs for the pharaohs of ancient Egypt. The word "pyramid" is Greek and means polyhedron. According to some researchers, a large pile of wheat became the prototype of the pyramid. According to other scientists, this word comes from the name of a pyramid-shaped funeral cake. A total of 118 pyramids have been discovered in Egypt.

France is one of the most famous countries in Europe, and Paris is perhaps the most famous city in the world. It is rightly called the “City of Light,” but not at all because of the abundant lighting: after all, this could be called any other modern metropolis. No: the whole point is that the capital of France has been a center of education, art and philosophy for many centuries. “Paris is a holiday that is always with you.” This is what the famous American writer Ernest Hemingway said, and probably every person can subscribe to these words - no matter whether he has been there or not. Paris is a symbol of romance and the cradle of European culture.

Due to its size, Akshardham is included in the Guinness Book of Records. The complex, which occupies 12 hectares, includes not only the temple itself, but also several parks, a museum, a large cultural center where you can get acquainted with the national characteristics and traditions of India, water canals along which you can sail boats, as well as many cafes and souvenir shops. The temple was built without the use of metal objects. No cement. Concrete was used only when pouring the foundation. Everything else is stone. Marble and granite for construction were brought from all over the world, then processed according to special patterns and connected to each other using grooves. All the columns of the temple are inlaid, and the stone parts were rotated 90 degrees after joining.

Venice is called the “city on the water”. Interestingly, there are several other cities in Western Europe that use canals as streets. Thus, the Belgian Ghent lies on 26 islands connected by 207 bridges. The capital of Holland is located on 26 islands. But it is Venice that holds the palm in this criterion: it is difficult to beat the record of 118 islands, 150 canals and 400 bridges! Step by step, the Adriatic advances and wins: during the 20th century alone, Venice “sank” by 23 centimeters. Presumably, by 2028 the city will completely disappear into the abyss of water.

Dubai traces its history back to the 7th century, but few people associate this largest city in the United Arab Emirates with antiquity. Its most capacious characteristic is “City of the Future”: after all, perhaps, nowhere on the planet are so many incredible architectural structures concentrated, ultra-modern and even ahead of their time. Here is just a small list of Dubai attractions. The Burj Khalifa skyscraper looks like either a stalagmite or a desert flower with thin petals. The seven-star, sail-shaped Burj Al Arab hotel sits on a separate artificial island (room prices in Burj Al Arab start at thousands of dollars per night!). A 150-meter musical fountain that simultaneously lifts 83 thousand liters of water into the air to the sounds of Arab and world hits.

There are fifty states in the USA, and the last one among them is Hawaii: amazing islands lying in the center of the Pacific Ocean in the Northern Hemisphere, at a considerable distance from the continent. The Hawaiian archipelago consists of twenty-four islands and atolls, as well as many small islets. They were inhabited back in the 6th century BC, but for many centuries, during the legendary round-the-world voyages of the Age of Discovery, sailors sailed either further south or north. Therefore, for a very long time the Hawaiian Islands did not appear on the map and were not known to anyone.

The tops of the skyscrapers glowed yellow, the bay was softly illuminated, and the fog, the magnificent fog, shimmering with shades of red in the setting sun, the fog that I had been waiting for 20 years, flowed in continuous streams from the Russian Hills onto the city and dissolved in it.

The discovery of the Cape of Good Hope - a geographical place with perhaps the most romantic name in the world - belongs to the Portuguese navigator Bartolomeo Diaz. However, later, with the development of cartography, it turned out that the real “southernmost point of Africa” is not the Cape of Good Hope, but Cape Agulhas, located 155 km to the southeast. But by that time, tourists had already trodden wide paths to the impostor discovered by Bartolomeo Diaz, and the authorities limited themselves to replacing the sign with a new “Southwesternmost point of Africa”

The total height of the waterfall is 979 meters, and the height of the continuous fall of water is 807 meters. The height of the fall is so great that before reaching the ground, the water is sprayed into tiny particles and turns into fog. It should be mentioned that Venezuela is generally a unique country. In addition to Hugo Chavez and the price of gasoline (a full tank of a jeep costs 100 rubles), tepuis are located there. These are strange-looking mountains with a truncated flat top, called “table mountains” in the world (apparently because they are flat like a table). That is, imagine a kilometer-high cliff in a dense jungle, with vertical sheer walls and flat tops. Therefore, water accumulates there after any rain and subsequently flows down in numerous waterfalls.

The Maldives are strongly associated with a serene lazy holiday, full of measured bliss and secluded tranquility. Their remoteness from Europe (for example, a flight from Moscow takes 8-9 hours) and a high, and therefore not cheap, level of service make the Maldives accessible to not such a huge number of vacationers as, for example, Turkey or Egypt. The unique concept of the Maldives resorts is “one island - one resort - one hotel”, each with its own unique atmosphere and design.

Swiss St. Moritz is rightfully considered the king of Alpine ski resorts. “Aristocratic”, “cosmopolitan” and “respectable” - this is all about St. Moritz: a favorite vacation spot for representatives of royal dynasties, billionaires, politicians and show business stars. St. Moritz (panoramas no. 3 and 9) is located on the shores of the lake of the same name, in the Engadin region of the canton of Grisons at an altitude of 1856 meters above sea level. The village itself today has 5,600 inhabitants; at the height of the season they are joined by another 3,000 service workers and thousands of tourists. There are good conditions for trained skiers: 36 “black” slopes and 136 “red” slopes, as well as many opportunities for snowboarders, cross-country skiers and skaters. The total length of the region's ski slopes is 350 km, and the flat slopes are 150 km.

Modern St. Petersburg is an important cultural and industrial center and the largest seaport. Infrastructural development and location make the city both an important trade and center.

The first mountain is called Huaynu Picchu, and the second is Machu Picchu, and it is much less often visited by tourists. To climb to its top, you need to overcome a height difference of approximately 500 meters. The path is a stone path consisting of steps. The steps have been counted - there are 1700 of them! Usually the climb takes 1.5 hours. The view of the city from the top is amazing! It's definitely worth the effort and time to climb.

The Sino-Nepal border passes through the top of the world's highest mountain (8,848 meters). Or Tibetan-Nepalese. Depends on the political leanings of the reader. Everest is part of the Himalayas - a rather thin strip of mountains separating the Indian tectonic plate and the Asian (Tibetan Plateau). Ten of the 14 8,000-meter peaks are concentrated in the Himalayas, the rest are in the neighboring Karakoram. There are two popular routes to the top of Everest - from the north, from Tibet, and from the southwest from Nepal. The latter is a little easier and has attracted more climbers in recent years. For tourists, the goal is the base camp - the place where all expeditions are located, receiving the necessary acclimatization. In Tibet, you can use a jeep and get to the camp at an altitude of (5149) in just a couple of days. From Nepal, tourists have to travel on their own, at least a week on foot, to find themselves under the walls of Everest. However, this route rewards with unforgettable views of the mountains and magnificent nature of various climatic zones.

Hong Kong is both a city and a state, and (most accurately) a special administrative region within the People's Republic of China. He really is completely “special” in all respects. Hong Kong is one of the world centers of financial flows, and this imposes certain obligations on residents, shapes its external architectural appearance (it was here that the first skyscrapers in China appeared), and, finally, a separate administrative status allows Hong Kong to have its own laws, which it enjoys using .

The total height of the waterfall is 979 meters, and the height of the continuous fall of water is 807 meters. The height of the fall is so great that, before reaching the ground, the water is sprayed into tiny particles and turns into fog. It should be mentioned that Venezuela is generally a unique country. In addition to Hugo Chavez and the price of gasoline (a full tank of a jeep costs 100 rubles), tepuis are located there.

That is, imagine a kilometer-high cliff in a dense jungle, with vertical sheer walls and flat tops. Therefore, water accumulates there after any rain and subsequently flows down in numerous waterfalls.
