The solstice has come and gone, announcing that it’s the time to go on holiday. From SuperView-1 satellites’ view of 530 kilometers high in space, here are some suggestions for your summer holidays: 

1. Venice 

Be Prepared to Get Lost. Even the most directionally gifted travelers get lost in Venice. Google maps will even lead you astray, giving directions to a dead end down a small alley. If you just plan on getting lost, you’ll be much less frustrated. You never know what you might accidentally find.

2. Kampong Ayer

Kampong Ayer is a large network of stilt villages that extends over the Brunei River. Once referred to as the “Venice of the East”, it is home to about 39,000 people. Kampong Ayer is much more developed than one would expect stilt villages to be – there is electricity, plumbing, a school, mosque, police station and fire station.

3. Beihai Silver Beach

The beach is the finest quartz sand, which will shine silver light under the sunlight, hence the name Silver Beach. The flat and soft beach is regarded as “the greatest beach in China” because of the fine and white sand, soft waves, clean seawater and safe environment without sharks.

4. Galešnjak 

There is a tiny island in Croatia which is causing a sensation among all lovebirds in the world. It is one of the most popular islands on the planet right now. That island is Galešnjak. Its distinction is its unique shape. It is the most heart-shaped island on the planet.

5. Dubai Creek

Cruising down Dubai creek is a novel experience, one which you cannot miss when in Dubai. Imagine yourself on having dinner on a Dhow Cruise with the fascinating lights of Dubai creek with Music and Tanura Dance show with a sip of your favorite drink and BBQ buffet dinner. Romance for never so easy to find...

7. Qingdao

If it was a picture, Qingdao would be painted with blue sea and azure sky, red-roofed residences and green trees. Qingdao means “Green Island” in Chinese, and the name is a perfect match. This is possibly the most beautiful coastal city of China, famous for the comfortable weather, the large number of beaches and the delicious seafood.

8. Victoria Bay

Experience the magic of Hong Kong at night with an evening cruise on Hong Kong's dazzling Victoria Harbour, you’ll enjoy postcard-worthy views as you sip unlimited drinks from the open bar aboard an enchanting Chinese-style boat, and end your evening on top of the world as you ascend halfway up Victoria Peak to the Mid-Levels lookout for panoramic views of Hong Kong’s shimmering skyline.

9. Dakar Bathing Resort

Along dazzling Atlantic coastline, there are plenty of opportunities for uninterrupted sun lounging. Imagine! From the comfort of its sun loungers, you can sip from a fresh coconut and spy muscled Senegalese wrestlers practicing "la lutte" -- the country's national sport.

10. Lake Burley Griffin

The masterful centerpiece of Canberra, the large and lovely Lake Burley Griffin is an ideal water playground, whether you’re into rowing, sailing, kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding or fishing. Cyclists and walkers are well catered for along the 40km shoreline, and nothing beats a picnic in its numerous parks and gardens.
