So, there is a book titled "1000 places on Earth you should see before you die", but I recon that visiting 1000 different places is unrealistic.

So, GAF, what is your place on Earth that every citizen of this planet should see before they die?

My (biased) answer: Schloss Neuschwanstein in Germany, the land of fairy tales.

These places are good. I'd add, I'd really like to see the galaxy before I die, meaning, go to where there are no city lights and be able to see the milky way as we should.

I've already been there! Had a road trip with my girl from San Francisco to Los Angeles along the coast. An absolutely amazing scenery.

Why does it have to be before I die?

 

[Haly]

I want to see these:

South China Karst.

 

[Astral Dog]

everybody is going to have his dream place/ city.
personally, as i already know NYC , Los Angeles and Atlanta, to me it would be Europe: London, France and Italy, especially, i heard that Monacco is gorgeous too.
Also, Tokyo would be a great time.

Mohonk is really cool. Gorgeous vistas and great hiking in the area too

damn thats beautiful

Because after you die the only place you will visit is the battlefield of the skeleton war.

Whoa. But then any interesting land around water formation would peak my interest.

That's the Grand Canyon?

Been three times to Las Vegas, but I never got to see it.

The Baths, Virgin Gorda. Giant boulders were pushed up out of the Earth and created one of the most beautiful places on earth.

Photos below are all mine and family photos that don't do it justice. Most of the boulders are the size of a typical American home.

Crazy thing is that it's less than two hours away from Manhattan

The border crossing between Thailand and Cambodia. Go there on a hot day and see the napalm scarred man begging for spare change on the bridge. Then go back home and see if you can complain about your lot in life.

This isn't THAT difficult if you have a car and don't mind driving a few hours.

I live in the Chicago suburbs and can see the Milky Way with an hour and half drive or so on a moonless night. I was in Marquette, MI for business last week and it was beautifully clear one of those nights as well.

I highly suggest giving it a shot. It's great.

I was gonna post this.

-at night time it looks breathtakingly surreal. It's amazing what we can't see of our Galaxy because of all the light pollution.

Edit: I've been informed that these pictures are inaccurate representations and appear this way due to long exposure photography.

I had an answer, but it's just changed to this.
Holy fucking shit.

Second only to actually going to space, but that's not happening anyway.

 

[Annubis]

Putin's secret palace

It'd literally be the place I see right before I die.

 

[Messofanego]

Those Salt Flats look amazing. This is all great stuff, noting it down.
