Which places are suitable for traveling abroad in June?

We recommend several places worth visiting when traveling abroad in June.

The first one; - Tanah Lot Temple in Bali

Tanah Lot Temple is one of the most important seaside temples in Bali and was built in the 16th century. The temple is located on a huge rock by the sea. At high tide, the rock is surrounded by sea water. The entire temple is isolated from the land and stands alone in the sea water; it is only connected to the land at low tide.

There are many shops on both sides of the road in front of the temple, selling various souvenirs. You can buy a set of scenic postcards to take back as a souvenir. In addition, there are many food stalls selling grilled seafood, sesame cakes and the like. There is a small pavilion on the land opposite the temple. Standing in the pavilion, you can overlook the sunset, which is one of the scenic spots in Bali.

Second; Australia's Great Barrier Reef

The Great Barrier Reef is the largest and longest coral reef group in the world. It is located in the southern hemisphere. It runs along the northeastern coast of Australia, from the Torres Strait in the north to the south. To the south of the Tropic of Capricorn, it stretches for 2011 kilometers and is 161 kilometers at its widest point. It is the largest and longest coral reef group in the world, one of the seven natural landscapes in the world, and the natural landscape that Australians are most proud of. Also known as the "transparent and clear wild kingdom in the sea". There are 2,900 large and small coral reef islands, and the natural landscape is very special. The southern end of the Great Barrier Reef is as far as 241 kilometers from the coast, the northern end is closer, and the closest point is only 16 kilometers from the coast. At low tide, part of the coral reef emerges from the water to form a coral island. There is an extremely convenient sea route between the reefs and the coast. When the sea is calm, cruise ships pass here, and the continuous colorful and multi-shaped coral scenery under the ship becomes the best underwater wonder to attract tourists from all over the world. It was included in the World Natural Heritage List in 1981.

The Great Barrier Reef is composed of more than 400 kinds of colorful corals with various shapes. Most of the barrier reef is submerged in the water, and the top of the reef is slightly exposed at low tide. Viewed from above, the reef islands are like shining green emeralds, while the looming reef tops are like bright flowers blooming on the vast blue sea.

A variety of living corals live here, and their secretions and other substances constitute today's coral reefs. What created such a huge "project" were coelenterates - coral polyps, which are only a few millimeters in diameter. Coral polyps first appeared in the middle Ordovician period of the Paleozoic era about 470 million years ago. Corals can only live in waters where the water temperature remains at 22-28°C throughout the year, and the water quality must be clean. The waters off the continental shelf off the northeastern coast of Australia have the conditions for coral polyps to thrive. Corals feed on plankton and live in groups. Coral polyps often secrete a carbonic substance, which is mixed and accumulated with the calcareous skeleton of coral polyps and the remains of single-cell algae to form a reef area. Some of them are below the water surface, and some are above the water surface. The coral groups above the water surface are islands. The first generation of coral polyps left behind their remains after death, and the new generation continued to develop and multiply, developing to higher places and on both sides. Over time, the calcareous skeletons of coral polyps, together with the remains of marine organisms such as algae and shells, are cemented together and gradually accumulate into a huge coral reef.
