Jervis Bay
Jervis Bay is the location of both a beautiful natural area (including an Australian national park) and a geographical oddity (it is its own separate territory largely unknown to many).

Ganvie
Ganvie is basically Africa's Venice, in that water transportation is huge in this community. Also, the entire town's architecture reflects its super unique location: a lake. Apparently this was for tribal land disputes or something like that, but however it happened, it would be something really cool to visit. The houses and businesses are largely located in buildings on stilts above the water surface. Imagine an entire city on a lake. Very neat if you ask me.

Ahsan Manzil
The Ahsan Manzil is a large palace-turned-museum in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It is often called the Pink Palace due to its pink color.
A trip to Dhaka itself would be interesting (including the Bangladesh Parliament building that looks cool), considering the enormous population density there; and a visit to one of the country's most famous architectural treasures would be an interesting way to observe how this area of the world manages their monuments and landmarks.

Bahrain
Bahrain is a tiny country, but a unique nation still. Modernization has come to this island area, along with unique city architecture. I'd like to check it out, especially with its Middle Eastern setting.
Schönbrunn Palace
I've come across a grand palace in Vienna, Austria. It is the centerpiece of an entire park, which includes many historic landmarks and structures, along with gardens, a museum, and a zoo. I'd definitely hope to visit this area if I'm ever in the Vienna area.

Auyuittuq
A trip to Auyuittuq was planned to see the Northern Lights, but in an area so beautiful that there would be an even more rewarding experience than just the aurora alone.
The enormous mountains and glaciers of Nunavut's Auyuittuq National Park appeared to be the greatest landscape for this purpose. Two of its huge peaks, Mount Thor and Mount Asgard, would be worth the visit by themselves.
Also, the park crosses the Arctic Circle, leading into the arctic region of the world that is so amazing due to its remoteness. Seeing even a little of all the beauty at Auyuittuq would be wonderful, and just browsing the stories of visitors makes me want to give glory to God. It would be a great blessing to see the creation there in that part of Baffin Island. I hope it will happen someday.
