Zugspitze: a German High
Breathtaking views are easy to come by in Germany, but nothing compares with the view from the highest peak in the country. Zugspitze is located near the border with Austria and is the highest place in Germany to drink a giant beer and snack on a soft pretzel. The experience can't be beat--truly a natural high!

Amazing Dumplings
When in Xi'an, China, you must visit Defachang Restaurant. This eatery is located in the Bell and Drum Tower Square and boasts a menu of over 100 different kinds of dumplings. They range in flavors and fun shapes, including chicken, walnut, flower, and monkey shapes. Although our feast only included 21 varieties of dumpling, we were in awe of the steaming towers of bamboo trays delivered to each table of hungry guests.
