Nanjing Travel Guide

Canopy ziplining is one of Monteverde's most thrilling, popular adventures, and gliding through the misty cloud forest adds a unique, dreamlike experience. Monteverde is both a Mecca of cloud-forest ecotourism and one of Costa Rica's most developed, famous zipline regions, with large, well-equipped zipline parks. Steel cables connect platforms across cloud-forest valleys or between tall trees; harnessed and clipped to a pulley, guided and protected by professionals, you leap from a high platform and speed along the cable through the green, misty canopy and even across deep canyons—wind in your ears, forest below, mist on your face: exhilarating yet dreamlike. Some Monteverde parks are known for ultra-long, ultra-high cables—single spans over a kilometer, suspended above canyons, world-class; many also add a Tarzan swing and a unique "superman" zipline (face-down, flying like Superman). Flying like a bird over the cloud-forest canopy and canyons, ziplining is Monteverde's signature adrenaline experience.

Turku Market Square is the city's lively, down-to-earth central square—open-air market, market hall, shops and street life, the heart of Turku and a great place to feel its everyday pulse. Turku Market Square sits in the city center, the busiest, most central square. In warm seasons, open-air stalls sell fresh produce, berries (Finland abounds in tasty wild berries), flowers and local snacks—lively and full of life. Beside it stands the historic indoor Market Hall (Turku Market Hall / Kauppahalli, built in the late 19th century) with stalls of fish, meat, cheese, bread, pastries, coffee and Finnish foods—aromatic and tempting; taste local fare here. Around the square are shops, restaurants and cafés. Strolling the market square, tasting Finnish food and feeling the street life is a great way to experience Turku.
