4 Most Stunning Landscapes Around The World
Below are the most beautiful landscapes in the world:
Cliffs of Moher, Ireland
It is not only the most stunning landscape in Ireland but also in the entire Europe. These cliffs are 8 kilometers long and are about 210 meters high. Cliffs of Moher are located in County Clare, Ireland, and are estimated to be 319 million years old. The cliffs are the second most popular destination in Ireland. At the midpoint of the cliff, you will find the O'Brien's Tower, a rounded stone tower constructed by Sir Cornelius O'Brien. You can see the Galway Bay, Turk Mountains, and Aran Islands from the top of the tower. Moher Tower is a square stone ruin located at Hag's Head. It looks to be the remains of a watchtower placed during Napoleon's reign in Europe.
The cliffs consist of sandstone beds and Namurian shale beds, while the oldest rocks are at the bottom of the cliffs. You can also witness the 300-year-old river channels cutting from the base of the Cliffs of Moher. There, you can find more than 30000 birds of almost 29 species, including puffins and cormorants. The higher level of carbonic acid in the water and flooding have accelerated the limestone formation. So, visit the Cliffs of Moher still you can.
Victoria Falls, Zambia and Zimbabwe
The waterfalls are one of Africa's major and iconic tourist attractions, classified as the world's largest sheet of falling water. Victoria waterfalls are 5604 feet wide and 354 feet high. During the wet season, you can easily see the spray of falling water miles away. Victoria Falls is also known as the "Mosi-oa Tunya" in the local language, meaning "the smoke that thunders." The waterfalls stretch along the Zambezi River and are between Zambia and Zimbabwe. The waterfalls give you stunning views from both countries, but Zimbabwe has three-quarters of Victoria Falls. Therefore, Zimbabwe will be the best way to enjoy Victoria Lakes's beauty.
In case, you want to enjoy the beauty of Victoria Falls from both countries, the Victoria Falls Bridge will help you cross the border quickly. Remember that you must have a double-entry or multiple-entry visa and a passport. The best time to visit Victoria Falls is from February to May (after the rainy season); at that time, you can see 500 million liters of water falling every 60 seconds. Walking down to the Victoria Falls National Park will be a great experience. You can get closer to the waterfalls from the Zambian side.
Antelope Canyon, Arizona
You can find the Antelope Canyon on the land of Navajo which is not far from the southern border of Utah. The Antelope Canyon shows an amazing geological formation and has become the most popular tourist attraction globally. It is famous for its vibrant orange and red sandstone walls, reaching hundreds of feet tall and standing proudly in the air. The water carves Antelope Canyon flows over the centuries and consists of narrow passageways of wave-like rock. The winding pathways and beams of light make this place worth visiting.
Though many people don't know, it's a fact that Antelope Canyon is divided into two parts, including the Lower Canyon and Upper Canyon. Upper Antelope Canyon is the most popular, easily accessible, and crowded. Therefore, Lower Antelope Canyon, which is underground, is a better choice. Plus, it is much cooler and wide at the top. If you are exploring the Lower Antelope Canyon, it is better to visit in the morning to avoid the crowd. Also, you will not need any reservations; it works on a first-come-first-serve basis. Arizona is dry and hot, so you can easily get hydrated. Remember to bring water with you.
Zhangye Danxia, China
Danxia landforms are situated in the Zhangye Danxia National Geological Park and are also known as the eye candy of Zhangye. The original name of this park was Zhangye Danxia Geopark, and it has gained popularity for its stunning display of vibrant colors and amazing rock formations.

The Zhangye Danxia is sitting in the foothills of the Qilian Mountains.
Linze Danxia Scenic Area is this park's most developed and popular area. Binggou is another famous part of this park, which is situated on the Liyuan River. Though it is the less-visited part of the park, remember that Binggou gives you memorable views of this beautiful landscape. Sunan Danxia Scenic Area is the third part of this park. The rocks appear as if they have been painted, and saying this is the most colorful national park would not be wrong. The beautiful landscape is created by the sandstones and minerals layered over each other over the years. Besides that, the wind, rain, and time have also played a crucial role in forming Zhangye Danxia.
