Not many people know about this beautiful place. I think it is the most unusual
place in the world. My dream is to see it one day. There are about 365 small
pools of water in this lake in summer. Imagine! Each pool has a different
colour. You can see yellow, orange, green, purple and blue pools. It is really
nice! People cannot walk in the lake area. They can only watch this beautiful
lake from a distance. Late July is the best time to visit it.

Do you like walking in the forest? What about walking in the forest with
a lot of giant trees? The place I would like to see one day is full of
giant and old trees. The tallest tree in the world is also there. It’s called
Hyperion and it is 115.7 m tall. Most trees in this park are very old. They
are about 2000 years old. I think it is the best place for playing Hide and
seek with friends.

First time I heard about it was a year ago. I was very excited and decided to
make a presentation about it for my classmates. Just imagine! You don’t
need to look at the sky to see the stars. This sea is full of stars! And this is
because there are a lot of plankton in this sea. Many children know Plankton
from Sponge Bob Square Pants.
People can see stars in the see
from
the late summer to the end of the year. The time and place are different for
different islands.
