Tokaj Wine Region, Hungary - World Heritage Journeys
The Tokaj Wine Region is home to some of Hungary's most beloved varieties of wine. The region is spread over a romantic landscape of cellar labyrinths, vines and slopes, nestled at the foothills of the Zemplén Mountains. Its winemaking history dates back over a thousand years. The most famous variety, Aszú – was described by Louis XV of France as ‘Vinum Regum, Rex Vinorum' - the Wine of Kings, King of Wines.
Inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2002, Tokaj established the world's first vineyard classification system in 1730 by royal decree, followed by the 1757 designation of Tokaj as the world's first appellation.
[Cantonese] Hungary Tokaj Wine Region Historic Cultural Landscape 匈牙利世界遗产 托卡伊葡萄酒产地历史文化景观
[ 托卡伊葡萄酒产地历史文化景观生动地表现了该地区低山河谷地带历史悠久的葡萄酒酿造传统。葡萄园体系繁杂庞大，包括葡萄园、农场、村庄、小城镇，还有历史遗留下来的网络般的地下酒窖，显示了著名的托卡伊葡萄酒的每个酿造过程，近三个世纪以来其质量和生产都受到严格的管理和控制。
The cultural landscape of Tokaj graphically demonstrates the long tradition of wine production in this region of low hills and river valleys. The intricate pattern of vineyards, farms, villages and small towns, with their historic networks of deep wine cellars, illustrates every facet of the production of the famous Tokaj wines, the quality and management of which have been strictly regulated for nearly three centuries.

[Cantonese] Sudan world heritage Gebel Barkal and the Sites of the Napatan Region 苏丹世界遗产 博尔戈尔山和纳巴塔地区
[ 博尔戈尔山和纳巴塔地区的5个考古遗址，分布在尼罗河河谷方圆60多公里的区域内，是库施第二王国纳巴塔文化（公元前900年到公元前270年）和麦罗埃文化（公元前270年到公元350年）的历史见证。在这5个遗址中，考古学家还发现了大量带有或不带有金字塔的陵墓、庙宇、居住区和宫殿等建筑物。博尔戈尔山自古就与宗教传统和当地民俗紧密相连。在当地人看来，博尔戈尔山最大的庙宇群至今仍然是极为神圣的地方。
These five archaeological sites, stretching over more than 60 km in the Nile valley, are testimony to the Napatan (900 to 270 BC) and Meroitic (270 BC to 350 AD) cultures, of the second kingdom of Kush. Tombs, with and without pyramids, temples, living complexes and palaces, are to be found on the site. Since Antiquity, the hill of Gebel Barkal has been strongly associated with religious traditions and folklore. The largest temples are still considered by the local people as sacred places.

Birka and Hovgarden - UNESCO World Heritage Site
Birka and Hovgarden is an unusual UNESCO World Heritage Site. They're a pair of old viking settlements on an island about an hour's ferry ride to the west of Stockholm. They were heavily-populated trading centres from around 850-1100 AD when they were suddenly and mysteriously abandoned. There's some interesting archaeological research happening here, and it provides a lot of detail about vikings - still a people we know surprisingly little about!

Adriatic Moto Tours - Czech Hungary Motorcycle tour
Riding through Czech, Hungary, Slovakia, Poland and Austria gives you the opportunity to visit some of the finest historical places in Europe: Prague, Budapest, Krakow and Salzburg. From numerous castles and ruins that perch quietly near lost-in-time Baroque and Renaissance villages in Czech and Slovakia to Austrian Alps surrounded by magical mountain lakes and hidden alpine valleys.
Since the fall of the Berlin wall, Eastern European countries have come a long way. The nineties saw these lands transformed from an open air museum of socialism and neglected backwater to renovated, colourful, central European states. Despite modernization, great care has been taken to preserve the magic of the historical and cultural heritage, in some respects the countries' most valuable assets.

[ Between 1696 and 1760, six ensembles of reducciones (settlements of Christianized Indians) inspired by the 'ideal cities' of the 16th-century philosophers were founded by the Jesuits in a style that married Catholic architecture with local traditions.

Trip to Hungary 2015 匈牙利之旅!!
I love hot springs and Hungary has lots of thermal baths!! Swimming in the Heviz thermal lake is an unforgettable experience and so does the Cave bath in Miskolc!! If you visit Heviz, please stop by Keszthely (a charming small town and much closed to Heviz). Holloko (UNESCO World Heritage Site) is hidden jewel in Hungary! If love wines, Eger &Tokaj are great cities to taste! When travel to Miskolc, several places that shouldn’t miss are Cave Bath, Diosgyor Castle, Lillafured (forest train & dripstone cave). Pecs is a multicultural & historical city. You will see mosque, cathedral and beautiful Zsolnay Museum. Godollo, Esztergom and Szentendre are much closed to Budapest, so do save some time to visit those charming small town when you visit Budapest! At last Budapest, a very beautiful city in the world! And don’t forget to take a night cruise on the river Danube at night, the scenery is awesome glorious!! Ruin bars, gorgeous cafes are great places to chill out. Anyway Hungary has lots to offer, please don’t miss it!!
