加強實用句型 It's like nowhere else on earth. 不同於地球上任何其他地方。

Visitors can canoe through the beautiful turquoise water of Palau's bays and lagoons. When they are near land, the boats can glide through mangrove forests, where trees grow out of shallow seawater.

On land, hikers should visit Babeldaob, the largest island in Palau. As they explore its mountains, jungles and lakes they may stumble upon ancient

archaeological sites or objects from World War II.

Many birdwatchers find Palau a great place to observe a variety of bird species, both common and endangered. They can wander the trails of the Ngermeskang Bird Sanctuary, which is one of a network of areas where wildlife is protected.

遊客以划乘獨木穿過帛琉海灣與湖絕美的藍綠色海水;
快要接近陸地時,船隻會輕輕行進拂掠過紅樹林,
這些樹木都是由淺海中生長而出。
從事陸地活動時,健行者應該到帛琉最大的島,巴貝圖阿普島一遊。

在探索群山叢林和湖泊之際,
很可能會偶然見到年代久遠的考古遺址或是二次世界大戰時期的物品。

許多賞人士發現,帛琉是個觀察形形色色鳥類物種的好地方,常見種類以及瀕危類皆然。

賞鳥者可以漫步在Ngermeskang烏類保護區的小徑上,
那裡是野生動植物獲得妥善保護的眾多區域之一。

Visitors to Palau can also take helicopter rides and see the shapes of the islands. From the air it's also possible to see marine lakes. Some of these bodies of seawater have been separated from the ocean by land.
Palau is a paradise for plants and animals, both on land and underwater. It's like nowhere else on earth. Nature-loving tourists can explore this beautiful chain of islands in numerous ways to their heart's content.

造訪帛琉的遊客也可以搭乘直升機看看帛琉群島的形狀。

從空中俯瞰也能看得到海水湖;這些海水湖因被陸地阻隔而與海洋分開。

帛琉是海洋暨陸地動植物的天堂;不同於地球上任何其他地方。

熱愛大自然的觀光客得以透過多種方式盡情探索這個美麗島群。
