There are so many fantasy fans these days – what with Harry Potter,
Game of Thrones, The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and so many more.
Some people wish they were living in a fantasy world, more often than
not. That is fine, as long as they realize how beautiful planet Earth
can actually be at times. There are certain locations hidden away across
the planet that one would swear they were plucked straight from your
fantasy novel. It’s hard to discern which is real life and which
location is created by a magician with a fantastical mind. Here are ten
impossible real-world locations taken from fantasy.
The Painted Peaks
In China, the Painted Peaks are a mountain range unlike any other.
For miles, the jagged peaks are striped in a rainbow of colors. In 2010,
the entire range was named a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The Cavern Temple
The Cavern Temple is a remote jungle temple that stems straight from
an adventure story. The tower entrance is overgrown with vines. Inside,
golden idols are situated for everyone to relive Indiana Jones.
The Twinkling Tunnels
The idea of slowly riding through a dark tunnel is kind of creepy,
but in New Zealand you can do so with the illuminating from tiny blue
pinpricks of light overhead. These lights come from glowworms attached
to the ceiling.

Baobab Boulevard
The Baobab Boulevard can be found on Madagascar, the isolated African
island. The baobab trees are massive, thick trunked specimens that look
like they come from fantasy worlds when stuck together.
The Haunted Forest
The Haunted Forest, also known as The Dark Hedges of Northern
Ireland, is a simple dirt road lined with trees. These trees were
planted back in the 1700s, and were meant to make the path look more
enticing. The tangled tunnel of tree branches is quite creepy.
The Fairy Garden
The Fairy Garden, which is known by its name of The Kawachi Fuji
Gardens, is located in Kitakyushu, Japan. The otherworldly nature of the
flowers growing over a massive trellis is simply beautiful.

The Starlight Seas
The glowworms in New Zealand are not the only ones to glow bright
blue. In the ocean, there are some aquatic species known as
phytoplankton that create a brilliant blue light. They sometimes wash up
on beaches, creating an imagery of starlight floating in the water.
The Misty Canyons
The Misty Canyons, otherwise known as China’s Zhangjiajie National
Forest Park, are like the homes of Dwarves. There are over 3,000
towering natural columns shrouded in mist. Some of these reach over
600-feet tall.
Neuschwanstein Castle
The Neuschwanstein Castle is straight out of a Disney fairy tale.
Perched atop a single, lonely hill with green forests surrounding every
side, the castle is picture perfect.

Crystalline Caves
Mexico’s Cueva de los Cristales, The Cave of Crystals, is a beautiful
place deep underground. The crystals that have formed from any hard
surface in the cave are truly massive, dwarfing humans who venture down
there.
