Natural wonder: Golden waterfall.

Iceland is known as the "kingdom of waterfalls" with hundreds of grand waterfalls on the island. The most famous ones are the Golden Waterfall and the Svartifoss Waterfall, where you can fully feel the majestic and unstoppable momentum of the hundreds of meters of water falling. The Golden Waterfall is rated as a more violent famous European waterfall than Niagara Falls, and even when some of the water areas are frozen, it still surges. The Golden Waterfall is divided into two sections, with water flowing down from a height of tens of meters, looking like two ribbons flowing along the canyon, which is very spectacular. The river water suddenly turns and falls into a curved three-level "staircase" at the entrance of the Golden Waterfall, then flows into the two "staircases" below, and finally flows into the deep canyon crack, forming the magnificent Golden Waterfall. The water droplets splashed by the pouring waterfall are scattered in the sky, forming a dazzling glow under the sunlight, as if a layer of golden clothes is covering the waterfall, which is truly gorgeous. If you are lucky, after a heavy rain, you can also see a rare rainbow spanning the waterfall. The Golden Waterfall, with its immense width and drop, seems to forcefully tear open a crack among the mountains, roaring into the distance and leaving only a rumbling sound. Its two drops are extremely ornamental, making it the most stunning waterfall among all the peculiar waterfalls in Iceland. Every viewing platform must not be missed, in order to capture the Golden Waterfall from all angles. At this moment, standing on the rocky reef above the waterfall, one can appreciate the magnificent fusion of stillness and motion, which is a natural wonder that is truly amazing.

Summer (June to August) is the peak season for tourism, with mild weather and temperatures between 50 and 60 degrees Fahrenheit. This is the best time for hiking, exploring the countryside, and enjoying the brilliant sunshine. Winter (December to February) is the best time to see the Northern Lights and experience Iceland's unique winter activities, with temperatures possibly dropping to 20 degrees Fahrenheit. ✈️[How to get there] Our country does not have direct flights to Iceland, so you need to transfer. You can choose from Beijing, Shanghai, or Guangzhou, because there are the most flights to Europe. Airlines include Finnair, Air France, and Lufthansa. 🌅[Recommended attractions] ✅Reykjavik: This charming city is the dreamland for you to start your Iceland adventure.

Also, if you plan to hike, please bring a comfortable pair of hiking boots. ✅Transportation: Iceland has no subway or train, and public transportation between cities is not well developed. The only option is to drive, but it's best to hire a guide or driver. ✅Language: Icelandic. ✅Currency: Icelandic Króna. ✅Wildlife: Iceland is home to a variety of wild animals, including reindeer and Arctic foxes, but it's important not to disturb or approach them. ✅Accommodation: 1.
