2) Neuschwanstein Castle (Germany)

Few places on Earth look more like fairy tale illustrations than this elaborate castle in Bavaria, Germany. Construction began in 1869 on behalf of King Ludwig II, known as the 'Mad King', who built it to escape from public life. Thought to be 'mad' due to his behavior, Ludwig earned this title a psychiatrist who ultimately declared him unfit to rule in 1886 due to his over-the-top spending himself into debt building castles, his insistence of eating outside no matter the weather, and his lack of marriage.

4) Zhangjiajie National Forest Park (China)

China’s Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is full of dense forests, deep ravines, deep canyons, unusual peaks, caves, and pillar-like rock formations. These pillar rock formations are what the park is renowned for around the world. They are not typical limestone-eroded pillars, but instead are quartz-sandstone and formed from physical erosion caused by the abundant rains.
