Some Amazing Places around the World to Daydream
    Here are some amazing places around the world to daydream about and look forward to visiting one day in the future.
    Lord Howe Island，Australia
    The island in the Tasman Sea lies between Australia and New Zealand.The number of tourists is not allowed to be over 400.It's known for many birds，plants and marine life.
    Lord Howe Island Group，the collective name for the mainland and the nearby islands，has been regarded a World Heritage Site of global national importance，thanks to the fact that its plants and animals are found nowhere else.
    Keahiakawelo （Garden of the Gods），Hawaii
    Don't try to attempt to reach Keahiakawelo，on Lanai Island.The Mars-like landscape gets its nickname from Alexander Ford，who visited in 1912 for an article and compared the place to the Garden of the Gods.
    Hawaiians call Keahiakawelo "wahi pana"，which means legendary places which have cultural significance.As legend goes，the priest of neighboring island，a man named Lanikaula，was angry at the people of Lanai，so he lit a fire wishing ill will to the island's people.
    Balamku （Cave of the Jaguar God），Mexico
    Re-discovered in 2018，the cave was discovered accidentally by archaeologists who were searching for a sacred well.
    Located in the ancient Maya city，the cave was initially discovered in 1966 but was sealed up and forgotten about.The cave is so unexplored，that archaeologists are still mapping it out，and have only been into the first 450 meters of the cave.
    Len?óis，Brazil
    This protected area on Brazil's north Atlantic coast is known for its vast desert landscape of towering white sand piles and seasonal rainwater lakes.
    Although the rolling sand piles look like they belong to a dry desert，the area gets around 47 inches of rain a year and is flooded with rainstorms which form crystal clear rivers reaching up to 10 feet deep，making them a great spot for swimming.
