Taste Tea in China The Ancient Tea Plantations of Jingmai Mountain in Pu’er features about 1.13 million tea trees. Located in China’s Yunnan Province, the region was a starting point of the legendary Ancient Tea Horse Road. Many of the region’s tea plantations remain, as do the local ethnic minority groups who preserve their own languages, customs, and festivals. Dive Deep in Palau When you arrive here, the stamp in your passport will include the Palau Pledge（誓约）, which all visitors must sign, promising that “the only footprints I shall leave are those that will wash away.” The eco-pledge was drafted by and for the children of these remote western Pacific islands to help preserve Palau’s culture and environment from the negative impacts of tourism. Run Wild in Australia Green plants are reappearing in Australia, of which some 72,000 square miles were burned during the 2019-2020 bushfires, leading to the deaths of more than a billion animals. Drive the Great Ocean Road in Victoria’s Otways region, and then take a hike at Wildlife Wonders. Wandering through bushes gives you a chance to spot koalas unique to this ecosystem. Go Green in Germany Mining and steel production once dominated the Ruhr Valley in German. Today, the region is repurposing previous industrial sites as parks and open air cultural spaces. The most famous is the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Zeche Zollverein, now home to an outdoor swimming pool and walking paths. You can rent a bike in Essen for a car-free Ruhr Valley trip along cycling routes. 21. What can’t visitors do
