240. Denali National Park, Alaska

There’s just something magical and romantic about being surrounded by the beauty of the natural world.  Whether you’re an experienced hiker/camper or a novice this is a special place to visit.  Filled with wildlife and fantastic mountain views one can’t help but be swept away here.  You can camp on your own or rent cabins (with great views of the park) or even do day trips, ‘Camp Denali’ was where we rented cabins from.   Wander this majestic land, cycle, make camp-fires, star gaze, take pictures… this is just a great place to be. 

235. San Antonio, Texas Riverwalk

I went there about 3 years ago and it will alway be ingrained in my memory. They have a very historic riverwalk that’s so beautiful pictures don’t do it justice. I went there during the week of Halloween and got to experience the rich Spanish culture there because people celebrate the day of the dead there as well. You should look up their official tourist site. I can only compare it to a Spanish version of Venice, Italy in AMERICA!! They even have a famous spot along the riverwalk called “Marriage Island” where men often choose to “pop the question”

231. Heaven Lake (天池), China

Heaven Lake is a crater lake in China on the border of China and North Korea.  This lake nestled amongst a stunning mountain range is visually fabulous and makes for a great romantic, active getaway.  Grab your sweetie and hike the trails or go on horseback.  There is overnight accommodation in canvas yurts (there were also high-end hotels in the area).  It is rumored that this lake is home to the Lake Tianchi Monster which apparently takes the form of a buffalo with fins that lives in the lake so… watch out!

230. Halifax, Canada

Halifax is a gorgeous city on the Atlantic cost of Canada, in one of the country’s most beautiful provinces. The city abounds in culture, heritage, and good food. Even if you’re not a fan of seafood, you’ll find something to love! Halifax is a city of laidback people, cosy pubs, and historical and quaint architecture, while at the same time being a modern destination for outdoorsy tourists. Grab Cow’s brand ice cream while walking along the harbour boardwalk, or stroll hand-in-hand through the gardens, or dine aboard a floating restaurant - there’s a lot for lovers to do! Exploring the star-shaped Citadel is an absolute must, as is visiting the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic and Pier 21 (Canada’s Ellis Island). Closeby to Halifax are many other delightful places, including the famous lighthouse at Peggy’s cove, and the seaside town of Lunenburg, where the Bluenose schooner was built. Halifax is a charming city within a charming country, and a great introduction to the wonders of the Maritimes!

210. Seoraksan National Park, South Korea

Seoraksan National Park on the East coast of the Korean peninsula, only 2 1/2 hours away from Seoul by express bus, is a truly stunning area.  If you manage to visit in the fall when the leaves are changing, it can be magical.  Here, there are trails winding up through the mountains to staggering heights with panoramic views of the surrounding area, hidden buddhist temples in crevices of sheer cliff walls, as well as a giant copper buddha statue.

I visited Seoraksan with my boyfriend this past November, and it was one of the greatest weekends I’ve ever had.  Most people (us included) choose to spend one day hiking up to the top of the main mountain, stay in the shelter at the top, and hike down the next day. One can also take a cable ride up one of the adjacent mountains.  Along the way up, there are several small shops offering traditional Korean dishes, and (delicious) homemade wine for when you want to take a break.

The park is only about 1/2 hour away from the city of Sokcho where there are beautiful beaches, and plenty of cheap, delicious Korean food waiting.

204. Quito Ecuador

SUBMITTED BY: http://napkin.johnriley.me/

I took a trip all over Ecuador. Ecuador is the number one most biologically diverse country in the world. It is one of the only countries to be at the equator, but have all of the different climate zones. You can see everything from the beach, to rainforest, to snow capped mountains. It is a truly magical place.

Quito is the capital of Ecuador set amongst a beautiful mountain landscape.  The old town is a UNESCO heritage site which typically makes places feel like disneyland, but not here.  The charm in this old city is that people still live, work and play there. There’s a subdued charm to quito and a lovely romance in roaming its streets and exploring all it has to offer.  

203. Bantayan Island, Cebu, Philippines

SUBMITTED BY: http://forevercrazyyy.tumblr.com/

This place is quite the place to be. Not so commercialized but it gives people a heap of life. The beach is calm. It is one of a kind. White sand beaches may be overrated for most of us but Bantayan Island is the place to be. It is not really spendy when you go here cause particularly, Cebu City is not really an expensive type of place. Unlike other places. 

Most hotels are near to empty since most people has not yet discovered this scenic place. Unlike Boracay wherein hotels don’t run out of people. People are very friendly.

If a glimpse of nature is what you want, Banatayan Island is what you should get ;)

202. Resurrection Bay, Alaska - US

There is a great boat ride through these waters our of Seward AK - for those who don’t suffer from sea sickness this would be a wonderfully romantic day trip.  Resurrection Bay in Alaska is a picturesque area filled with seals, whales, puffin birds and countless other species.  You take a boat ride through the bay and soak in the scenery while taking pictures and chatting with your loved one.  Mountains, fjords, marine wildlife and stunning glaciers actively falling into the bay are just a few of the great features of this trip.  Cozy up with your loved one and enjoy!
