寧越莊陵 [UNESCO世界文化遺產]
(영월 장릉 [유네스코 세계문화유산]) 莊陵 - 朝鮮第六代國皇端宗墓地莊陵，是國王端宗的墓地，王陵規模雖然不大但被保存的很完整，墓地的周圍被松樹所圍繞，為世界文化遺產。在此，可感受年僅16歲的端宗被奪權、被迫讓位，以至流放到清冷浦及賜毒藥而死的悲慘故事。據說，每到寒食在王陵祭祀時更會湧出泉水的“靈泉”。

Matsumoto Castle (Matsumotojo) is one of the most complete and beautiful among Japan's original castles. It is also a good example of a so called "hirajiro", a castle built on the plain rather than on a hill or mountain.
Matsumotojo's castle tower and smaller, second turret were built from 1592 to 1614 and were both well defended, as peace was not yet fully secured at the time. In 1635, when no more military threats existed, a third, barely defended turret for moon viewing was added to the castle.

A foot bridge is over the dried out river at Asif Ounila to Ksar Ait Ben Haddou.
The Ounila Valley links the Tizi n Tichka pass to Ait Ben Haddou and was originally the main thoroughfare for the trans-saharan trade route between Marrakesh and sub-saharan Africa. Today, evidence of this once highly important role is reflected in the numerous crumbling kasbah’s and ksar which are dotted all throughout the valley.
The famous ksar of Ait ben Haddou stands at one entrance to the valley (Ouarzazate direction) while the Telouet Kasbah of Thami El Glaoui – once Pasha of Marrakesh and the southern regions – stands at the other (just before the road links back up to the N9 highway). All the kasbah’s and ksar inside the valley were built by families of high status and would have had the privilege of receiving gifts from across the world as a sort of tax for using the road.

There is no mistaking an elephant for anything else. They are the largest living land animal, and have a unique trunk and tusks that no other animal has.
The trunk contains more than 40,000 muscles and is capable of both great strength and great dexterity. In addition, the elephant has enormous ears that it flaps back and forth as a threat display, or to cool its body. Males can grow to 11½ feet tall and weigh 12,000 pounds. Females can grow to 9 feet and weigh 6,000 to 10,000 pounds. Despite their great bulk they walk in digitigrade fashion, that is, on their toes.
Elephants usually live in herds of related females and their offspring. The leader is an elderly female. The males live apart either singly or in all-male herds.
Elephants roam over wide ranges and can walk for many hours without rest. They can use their sensitive trunks to detect a rainstorm up to 15 miles away. They will walk there to feed on the lush plant growth the rain causes or to drink the water. When walking the herd covers about four miles per hour, but they can sustain a rate of eight miles per hour when necessary. They can run for short distances at up to 25 mph and can easily overtake a human sprinter. They can walk or swim across a river, but cannot jump over a ditch only 5 feet wide.
Elephant babies weigh 200+ lbs. at birth, and nurse for 2 years. They need 10 to 14 years to mature. All herd members care for all babies.
