Magnificent scenery of the movie is an important factor for us to be attracted for our tourism. It would be a wonderful feeling when standing in the same place with the performer. So I am afraid that nobody could refuse the way into the theater.

This is a scene in the well-known film “Harry Potter”: at a quiet night with breeze, air was filled with strange and mystical atmosphere, a narrow passage moves suddenly to a wide black lake and there are enormous castle on the top of the mountain at the other side of the lake in groups. Countless bright windows become shiny under the starlight, many boats move forward so quickly and across the mirror-like lake, everyone is very quiet and stares at the huge castle silently, when getting closer and closer to the cliff near the castle, the majestic building is just like standing on top of your head. This is the famous wizard school - Hogwarts.

Hogwarts wizard school and part of the appearance of the castle in the film “Harry Potter” are shot in the north of England Anwick Fort, which is located in the center of Annick Fort. Before Harry Potter appears on the screen, it’s impossible to find the small town in travel manual and there is even no railway station at here. But now this town becomes a popular tourist place just because of the famous film.

Annick Fort which is named as the north Windsor Castle in the Victoria era is a building with the style of medieval architectural. This castle is not only surrounded by mountains and lakes, but also grass and trees at here. Additionally, there is a beautiful park which covers an area of 3000 hectares in the region. There is no doubt that taking an old-fashioned steam train to Anwick Fort is a very pleasant trip, a journey to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Through the pleasant scenery of the Wilderness National Park, the woodland green valleys, unspoilt green areas and the quiet picturesque villages all can be seen on the trip. It’s a very short trip but the feeling of rural can be given.

Tuvalu, consisted of 9 circular coral islands, is located in the South Pacific. The land area of Tuvalu is only 26 square kilometers and the highest point is only 4.5 meters above sea level. As the global warming, Tuvalu will be submerged in 50 years and therefore the nation will be the first one to migrate the whole country because of global warming.

When a small propeller plane is at the 1500 meters high altitude, a Crescent Moon shaped island are displayed in the endless expanses of the South Pacific. As the plane falling, Crescent Moon gradually became a touch of the plains, narrow, long land into the sea like the one “rope.” Along the “rope”, the aircraft slowly landed in the capital, Funafuti airport runway, which is Tuvalu’s only a small airport. Tuvalu is an isolated island, where is only a group of ships one month and a flight one week. Walking in the only one street in Tuvalu, your heart would be up and down because the left is the choppy sea, turn right to see, it is still the sea. In the middle of the low-lying land where the road will emerge pool of water from time to time and you will feel it will sink together with the road. With an average width of only twenty to thirty meters, a bath can be given a thorough wash from head to toe just by 23 meters high waves. “Do not come running after dark, it will go to the sea without careful,” A local resident told, “Tuvalu is too small and topography also is flat, high tide will be sea water in many places and even the center road of the island.” He also advised us not to wear leather shoes because a wave which crossed the entire island will directly flow to the other side when a casual tide happened.

Tavala Katea provides a set of test data which show that 16 years from 1993, a total of Tuvalu’s sea levels rose 9.12 centimeters, according to this figure, 50 years later, the sea level will rise by 37.6 centimeters, which means that plans Tuvalu at least 60% of the country completely sink into the sea.

Anderson, the worldwide famous master of fairytale had said：to travel is to live. Travel does not mean a temporary move from one place to another, a lot of photographs that you have taken during your journey. It is actually another kind of life.

Our lifetime is in some sense a kind of travel. When we were born, we begin to get familiar with the world we live in. We learn how to live and how to live a better life. Our life consists of three parts: the starting point, the process and the end. It is like a journey we take, we decide to go to an unknown place, and then in the process we feel its picturesque scene, get accountant with its customs and search for all the things which attract us. In the end, we go back to our initial point. To travel is also a way to perceive this world. To some extent, travel makes us know well about our world. Actually, life is a process that we turn the unknown things into the familiar ones. So is travel.

Someone has said: life is a gorgeous risk. Life is full of mystery, so is travel. Because things are unknown. Just as in our daily life there are so many unexpected things happen to us during travel. We manage to get rid of the obstacle. After handling these things, we become stronger and deal with the difficulties in our daily lives well. In this sense, travel helps us much stronger when facing the difficulties.

In other words, we can see travel as a complement of life. For example, someone does not care about the place he/she will go, all they want is just to go .They travel for travel’s sake, and they just want to move. They put their bodies and minds are in a more comfortable state. It is no doubt that under this situation travel is life and life goes to a higher structure. During journey, we relax thoroughly.

Summary: to travel is to life, we should treasure every scene appear in our travel and each issue appeared during our journey. All the experiences make our life more diversity and more magnetic.
