National parks are large areas of public land. They give a safe home for local plants and animals. They help keep the air and water clean. They also give us the best trip. Today, there are nearly 7,000 national parks around the world. Forbes has listed 12 of the most beautiful ones in the world that will surprise you with their amazing landscapes, geographic wonders and colourful plants and animals.

The Grand Canyon National Park of the US is a great wonder of the natural world. It is best known for its size and depth(深度). It is 446 kilometres long, up to 29 kilometres wide, and 1.6 kilometres deep. The immensity of the canyon makes people think big. Every year, about 5 million people visit here. Taking a tour in the South Rim offers visitors the park's full views, while the North Rim shows beautiful wild flowers.

If you love animals, you'll like the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. The “Big Five” live there. They are the lion, African elephant, African leopard, black rhinoceros and African buffalo. The name “Big Five” came from the five animals that were hardest to catch. Now they are what people most want to see in the wild. If you visit the park, you should never miss the migration(遷徙) of over 1.5 million wildebeest(角馬) and 250,000 zebras every year. This is the most famous site of the park.
