The mere environment seems naturally suited to testing human nature. A group of children in "Lord of the Flies" begin to kill each other for survival and power after being exiled to a desert island, completely devoid of child innocence. To highlight this contrast, the director team set the filming location in the most secluded corner of the island of Puerto Rico. Today, one of the filming locations, the El Yunk National Forest, has become a tourist attraction. This rainforest is very pristine and contains many species that are unique to this area. People can follow the hiking trails to explore some of the centuries-old buildings here, such as fortresses, museums, etc., and also experience swimming, surfing, rafting and other activities. Walking in it, recalling the plot of the movie, people may be able to develop a new understanding of human nature.

Many people will set their honeymoon destination on Bora Bora. Couples can stay in a water hut and savor breakfast served by the waiter in a canoe. After soothing the hungry stomach, people can observe the swimming fish in the water through the transparent glass on the ground, and they can also watch the sparkling water and undulating peaks on the recliner, and then enjoy a couple massage in the evening, which is a textbook honeymoon experience. But what if it is a couple with a precarious marriage who has come here? In "The Companion Resort," four couples from the United States team up to face their marital problems in a resort called the Promised Land of Eden. The "Promised Land of Eden" in the film was filmed on Bora Bora Island.

Kauai is one of Hawaii's most pristine islands, with a sunny southern shore of the island with perfect golden sand beaches, pristine reefs and lazy, sun-basking seals. In addition to the typical seaside holiday experience, visitors can learn chocolate making at a cocoa plantation, take an ATV ride to a remote waterfall, or explore a fascinating cave. On this garden-like island, the most amazing view is the 22 km long and 1 km deep Waimea Gorge. Visitors can cross the canyon on hiking trails, but for George, the protagonist of "Tarzan in the Forest," the hanging branches of trees are his means of transportation. George grew up in the jungle and was raised by orangutans. By chance, he rescued Ursula, the girl who had come to explore, and after several twists and turns, the two became linked. Fixing in the canyon's pristine jungle adds a new meaning to the old-fashioned "hero saves beauty".

Marsa's Vineyard is an island in the United States of Massachusetts. Whether in Spielberg's Jaws or in reality, the island is a scenic destination. The only difference is that the sharks are not real. When visitors go on vacation, they can relax and enjoy the beauty of the island without worrying about the dangers that will follow. In recent years, celebrities such as David Letterman and Bill Murray have frequently visited Martha's Vineyard, making the area more and more famous. But that doesn't mean the threshold for a holiday on the island is high, and people don't have to spend too much to visit galleries, browse the island's farmers' markets, or have a drink at a tavern. It is said that Spielberg's biggest fear is not to control the mechanical shark, but to make a movie that will be robbed of the beauty of the island.

Kauai, Hawaii, has long been a favorite filming location for major movies, and in "Six Days and Seven Nights", it has become a deserted island. It is said that art director J. Michael Riva led the main creative staff to many places before finally choosing this place. Unlike the simple wilderness survival theme, the film also adds an element of adventure. Kauai is in danger due to the presence of pirates. Although the protagonist's 6 days on the island are very difficult, for tourists, every moment here is enjoyable. With relatively few commercial projects, Kauai has retained its pristine beauty, especially dotted with waterfalls and more than 60 beaches. People can enjoy the scenery along the sightseeing road or experience water sports such as snorkeling. Since there are no fierce pirates, why not stay on the island for a few more days?

If you had the opportunity to build a peach blossom garden, where would you build it? In the movie "Beach", the production staff chose the location on Phi Phi Island in Thailand. Crystal clear waters, snow-white beaches and jagged cliffs are all reasons to look it off. As an "undiscovered paradise", Phi Phi Island presents an extraordinary beauty in the film. Compared with the protagonist of the movie, visitors can enjoy the scenery more without distraction. People can take a boat trip to see the distant mountains, blue skies and caves along the way, but perhaps snorkeling is the best way to get a feel for the waters. Dive slowly in the warm waves of the water and share the underwater vision with the flocks of small fish will definitely be an unforgettable experience.

One is free to explore the majestic mountains, lush greenery and meandering rivers. Dominica's unique natural landscape attracts a large number of tourists who are passionate about adventure and photography. Dominica has less commercial development than other resorts, making it one of the most original destinations in the minds of many. In addition, the local beer brewed with spring water is also worth a try.

Compared to many islands known for their natural beauty, Alcatraz Island in San Francisco is somewhat special because it used to be a place for prisoners. The 1962 jailbreak was a sensation. The prison was abolished and Alcatraz was incorporated into Golden Gate National Park in 1971, but that didn't stop people from using it as inspiration for film and television. After the release of "Daredevil Island" starring Sean Connery and Nicholas Cage, Alcatraz Island became more and more famous and attracted more and more tourists. One can visit the former cells and learn about the history of the island. The island's bunker ruins, lighthouses, gardens, etc. are also places to visit. In addition, although the name of Alcatraz Island is terrible, the natural environment of the island is not as strange and grassless as people think. Wild animals such as pelicans and herons have chosen Alcatraz Island as their habitat, which shows the ecological environment of the island.
