Dark Sky Parks around the World
Warrumbungle National Park
   Situated in the central west slopes of New South Wales is Australia's only dark sky park，Warrumbungle.The park has served as a dark sky park since July，2016.Its crystal-clear night skies and high altitude make it a natural，educational，and astronomical heritage site in the southern half of the earth.Tourists can use Australia's largest optical telescope within the park boundaries to view the auroras（極光），the Milky Way，and taint shooting stars.
   Sark
   Sark is a Channel Island near the coast of Normandy under the protection of the UK.It was the World's First Dark Sky Island set up in January 2011.Its historical and cultural blend attracts over 40，000 tourists annually.With no motor vehicles and public lighting on the island，there is an exceptional view of the dark skies.A rich Milky Way is visible in the dark night skies from the shores of the island.
   Pic du Midi de Bigorre
   Pic du Midi de Bigorre in France was designated（指）as a dark sky park in December 2013 making it the second largest dark sky park in the world.The park covers 3，112 square kilometers spreading across the Pyrenees National Park and UNESCO's World Heritage site，Pyrenees-Mont Perdu.The park attracts over one hundred star watchers every year.The Observatory Midi-Pyrenees，which was built in 1870，is one of the world's highest museums at a height of 2，877 meters above sea level.
   Ramon Crater/Makhtesh Ramon
   Ramon Crater is a unique 1，100-square-kilometer nature reserve located in the Negev Desert in Israel.In 2017，the Ramon Crater became the first designated dark sky park in the Middle East.Its location，rough climate，and forbidding landscape that are characteristic of the Negev have largely defeated historical attempts for human settlement，making it a great place to view the night skies.Stargazers usually camp in the desert to have an uninterrupted view of the stars，planets，and the Milky Way.

2．With Memorial Day and summer right around the corner，you're bound to feel a serious case of wanderlust coming on.Whether you want to travel the world or just squeeze in a weekend getaway to your nearest National Park，camping is always the answer.Whatever you've got in mind，we've rounded up a selection of the world's most beautiful camping spots to get you started.
   ●Yosemite National Park，California
   Ninety-five percent of Yosemite National Park is set apart for wilderness，which means no cars，no buildings，and no electricity.Sleep under the stars and hike up to Glacier Point for a view of Yosemite Valley，Half Dome，and Yosemite Falls.Make sure you store your food properly though - black bears are common!
   ●Boya Lake Provincial Park，Canada
   Boya Lake Provincial Park，known for the color and clarity of its lake，is a great place to enjoy any type of water recreation.The lake is also one of the few in the north that's warm enough for swimming.The area was carved out by glaciers，leaving many islands and lakes behind for modern campers to explore on the park's hiking trails.
   ●Corcovado National Park，Costa Rica
   Corcovado National Park is home to five percent of the world's biodiversity--National Geographic described it as the most "geographically intense" place in the world.Camping is a great option for a visit to Costa Rica：you'll be at the heart of the rainforest，away from the country's touristy resorts.
   ●Maasai Mara National Reserve，Kenya
   If you've always dreamed of safaris（野外觀獸旅行），Maasai Mara is the place to go.The best time to visit this large game reserve is between July and October，when you can witness the annual migration（遷徙）of Thomson's gazelle，zebra，and wildebeest to and from the neighboring Serengeti，in Tanzania.Camp on the banks of the Mara River and hang out with the local Maasai people，well-known for their unique customs and dress.

   Silk Fabric
   Silk，the favorite fabric of many girls out there，is also a Chinese invention.Although we all know that silk is made by silkworms，it was Chinese people who first invented a way to harvest the silk and then use it to make clothes.The oldest silk which has been found so far is in Henan Province and dates back to 3630 BC.
