①Have you ever dreamed of visiting famous places like Venice，Paris or the Grand Canyon? Now you can travel the world from home through virtual(虚拟) trips! With online maps，you can visit almost anywhere. Walk through busy night markets in Bangkok，"fly" above huge mountains like the Himalayas or look at beautiful islands and imagine swimming in blue seas. You won't feel real weather or taste local food，but it's still exciting!
②If you love nature，try virtual tours of national parks. Yellowstone National Park in America lets you watch hot water shoot into the sky，see colorful lakes and "walk" on famous paths through videos. Some websites even show underwater worlds. There，you can see fish and sea plants.
③Many museums now offer online visits，too. At London's British Museum，you can see over 60 rooms full of treasures like the Rosetta Stone and famous artworks. The Taj Mahal's virtual tour lets you see it from all angles(角度) and reach high places that are hard to visit in real life.
④Want more fun? Try "climbing" the Eiffel Tower in France or "walking" across the Great Wall of China on your screen. Some tours even let you click to learn historical facts about these places.
⑤Virtual trips cost nothing—no plane tickets，hotels or heavy bags! You can visit several countries in one day. Though it's not the same as real travel，it helps you discover new places and plan future trips.
⑥Next time you want to travel but can't go far，try a virtual trip! The world is waiting on your computer or phone. Who knows? Maybe you'll find your next dream destination(目的地)!
1. How can people travel almost anywhere from home?
