Forests and mountains

Dancing Forest, Russia
The Dancing Forest, located in Kaliningrad, Russia, is also known as the Drunken Forest because what better time is there to dance, even if you're a tree? The reason why people gave it this name is because of the twisting, curving tree trunks that look like they got a little tipsy, so to speak (much like the Crooked Forest in Poland). The twists and rings of the trees are said to bring good luck, and climbing one can give you an extra year of life or a special wish, according to local lore.
Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, China
This forest is so gorgeous, it's actually one of the inspirations for a Hollywood movie. Although some other forests around the world also served as inspiration (including Daintree Forest in Australia), Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is widely accepted as the inspiration for Pandora in the 2009 movie, "Avatar," particularly the fictional floating "Hallelujah Mountains." Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is home to large, pillar-like rocks that make this forest incredibly unique.
Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, Japan
Just outside Kyoto, this bamboo grove is a particularly wondrous place to stroll and reflect after a visit to the many temples, gardens, and imperial palaces that this city is famous for. Although it's a fairly popular tourist destination, many people go there to enjoy some peace and quiet, since the government of Japan encourages visitors to keep noise to a minimum so as not to distract others from listening to nature in its purest form.
Dragon's Blood Forest, Yemen
This unique forest is located over 200 miles off the coast of mainland Yemen, and it's particularly famous for its ancient, strange-looking trees. These Socotra trees are also known as dragon's blood trees, named for the viscous, red, blood-like sap that they produce. The sap also is rumored to have healing properties like healing wounds, lowering fevers, and treating dysentery. These trees, which have such dense leaves and branches that they look like umbrellas, can live up to 650 years and grow between 30 and 40 feet high.
