Pakistan should be everyone’s tourist destination for 2018, but what if you already live there?

Then perhaps you should consider visiting these five must- visit places for the new year.

Lake Saiful Muluk

At an altitude of 3, 224m, surrounded by now mountains, the lake rewards those that make the three-hour uphill walk from Naran. You will find the pathway just above the free market, but there is a superior option to get a jeep and split the costs with some other tourists; expect to pay about 700 rupees, worth it to view this natural beauty.

Deosai National Park

As another high point in Pakistan, it has an average altitude of 4,114m --- the Deosai Plains are one of the highest plateaus(高原 )in the world. If you make it to the park, you expect to find rich plants and wild animals. The breathtaking scenery on show at the plains is enough to make 2018 a memorable year.

Naltar Valley

Accessible via a 2.5----hour drive from Gilgit, well worth visiting. Covered with pine trees and other plants, it has a dreamlike feel about it. Various colors all year around make you fall in love.

Shangrila Resort

Right in the north of Pakistan in the Central valley of Gilgit-Baltistan. Locals call this a paradise(乐园）,and that’s what it feels like. No visit is complete without checking out the restaurant which is built in the structure of an aircraft.

Rama Meadow

Doesn’t feel like Pakistan at all, more like somewhere in Minnesota. Watch the sheep and cows feeding while clear water flows in streams from high in the mountains. Against Chongra’s ice-covered peak, this little meadow is a piece art.

1.What is the best means to go to Lake Saiful Muluk?

A. Drive a jeep in person.

Scotland is a well-developed tourist destination, with tourism generally being responsible for sustaining 200, 000 jobs mainly in the service sector, with tourist spending averaging at £4 bn per year. Tourists from the United Kingdom make up the bulk (主体) of visitors to Scotland. In 2002, for example, UK visitors made 18.5 million visits to Scotland, staying 64.5 million nights and spending £3.7 bn. In contrast, overseas residents made 1.58 million visits to Scotland, staying 15 million nights and spending £806 m.

Scotland is generally seen as clean, unspoilt destination with beautiful scenery which has a long and complex history, combined with thousands of historic sites and attractions. These include prehistoric stone circles, standing stones and burial chambers, and various Bronze Age, Iron Age and Stone Age remains. There are also many historic castles, houses, and battlegrounds, ruins and museums. Many people are drawn by the culture of Scotland.

The cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow are increasingly being seen as a cosmopolitan（全世界的）alternative to Scotland’s countryside, with visitors year round, but the main tourist season is generally from April to October inclusive. In addition to these factors, the national tourist agency, VisitScotland, have deployed a strategy of niche (适当的) marketing, aimed at exploiting, amongst other things, Scotland’s strengths in golf, fishing and food and drink tourism. Another significant, and increasingly popular reason for tourism to Scotland — especially by those from North America— is genealogy, with many visitors coming to Scotland to explore their family and ancestral roots.

A dentist’s office may not be everyone’s idea of a perfect holiday destination.But a growing number of Europeans are travelling abroad for medical treatment to save money，or maybe to combine a visit to the doctor with some sightseeing，creating a potential but fast­growing market for traditional tour operators.

“It was simply cheaper for me to go to a dentist in Hungary，” said a 42­year­old physical therapist from Berlin.He chose the clinic near Budapest from an Internet advertisement，attracted by hundreds of euros in savings compared with the same treatment in Germany.He was happy to find when he got there that the clinic was clean，the staff qualified and the work thorough.

People travel abroad for medical treatment for various reasons：it’s cheaper，they face a long wait at home，or the treatment they want is not available in their own country.The British­based Medical Tourist Company refers about 100 patients a year to hospitals in India for treatments.And Chief Executive Premhar Shah reports rapid growth in demand from customers in Africa，where it can be harder to find well­equipped medical facilities for complex surgeries.

Some patients who have immigrated may prefer to return to be close to their families when they undergo surgery.“People will want to take the opportunity to seek treatment in places where they have relatives who might be able to look after them.I’m seeing that especially with younger people from eastern Europe，” said a professor at the University of Oxford.

For some，there is the attraction of free treatment abroad.British law­makers have called for tighter checks on patients arriving for treatment，out of concerns that foreign citizens are travelling to Britain to take advantage of the free service.

The global medical tourism market is believed to be worth $40 billion to $60 billion and growing at about 20 percent per year.

1.The 42­year­old physical therapist was satisfied with________in Hungary.

A．the price instead of the service
