FLORIDA-A WONDERFUL PLACE FOR HOLIDAY

Florida, the world-famous place for holiday, has attracted more than hundreds of thousands tourists to enjoy their lives there. At the early of this year, I spent my winter vacation there with my friends for ten days. The sunshine, beach and blue sky existing everywhere brightened my emotion.  Impressed spots include Disney World (The Magic Kingdom), South Beach and Everglades National Park.

The Magic Kingdom
Disney World Resort in Orlando, FL is consisted of Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disney's Animal Kingdom. Because of the limited time, I only went to the most famous one--Magic Kingdom. 
There're various amusement facilities including Mini Flume, Tea Cup and Scooter as well as artificial forest and mini sightseeing train in Magic Kingdom. Children can have fun there for a whole day or even a few days. Believe all of the fantastic castle, funny amusement facilities and theme activities are their love. Except for children, adults can also find lots of interests there. Probably for most people, the most unforgettable thing is the nighttime spectacular called Orlando Disneyland Fireworks. While more than 80,000 twinkling lights and various animated pictures illuminating the Sleeping Beauty Castle and the colorful fireworks activating the quite sky, every tourist there was losing in the nighttime spectacular. Believe it or not, it is the most innovative and amazing show I've ever seen.


South Beach
When people mention Florida, the first thing they may think about is sea and sunshine. Right, most of Florida's beauty is attributed to the blue sea and beach, to some extent. Among various beaches, South Beach is one of the most famous one. Tall buildings along with the long shoreline as well as blue sky compose the representative spot in Miami called South Beach.
During daytime, tourists can swim in the shallow or walk along the shoreline while enjoying sea spray and a flock of seagulls at the same time. During nighttime, sitting on the beach silently to listen to the sound of waves is a wise choice to relax your soul.


Everglades National Park
The third largest national park--Everglades has the largest tropic wilderness, existing as a network of wetlands and forests. It helps to protect the fragile ecosystem. Apart from various plants, Everglades are home to more than 30 protected or threatened species, including alligators and herons. 
Here, every tourist protects and cares for those wild animals. No wonder animals are seldom scared away by people. Birds might stand beside one person while he/she is taking a photo. 


If you like taking adventures, then alligators are the animals that you absolutely cannot miss. Can you imagine your emotion while you taking a boat passing through dense everglades to look for alligators? It could be excitement, fear or curiousness. During the time while I was on the boat, I was a little bit nervous since I worried that I could be eaten by alligators under the boat! Of course it was only my imagination. However, I was indeed astonished by alligators at first glance, because of their size. They are so huge!! I've never seen such giant alligators before. They just stayed in the water in silence. You know an alligator can even stay at the same place without moving for more than 70 hours? Right, this is their hobby.


As you can see, there're many places in Florida worthy of visiting. In spite of the aforementioned spots, the Universal Studios, Key West and SeaWorld Theme Park are also good choices. So, don't hesitate to go to Florida with your friends or families once you have spare time.

  1. I have been to Florida for three times, include Miami, Orlando,and Panama City beach. Among all these places, I love the Panama City Beach the best. Unlike Miami, there are less visitors at Panama City beach. it is not crowded nor noisy. Also, the ocean color there is more like green but not blue, and it makes me feel like the water is more fresh. Moreover, I like Panama City Beach because the price for travel there is more cheaper than Orlando or Miami. I lived in a king size room with a balcony inside the room with seaside view, and it was for 140 box per night. I do not think I can live in such room with the same or cheaper price in Miami. That is, I strongly suggest you go to Panama City Beach, it is a such romantic, peaceful, and beautiful place.
