Fairytale Regions - Bamboo Forest

In Kyoto, Japan the awe-inspiring bamboo forest is a place that you can actually walk through if you visit, similar to the setting in the film, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Perhaps you should visit if you feel the need for good karma as bamboo is considered to be something that wards off evil. 

Fairytale Regions - Venice

The New York Times described it as "undoubtedly the most beautiful city built by man". Stretched across 117 small islands, Venice boasts 455 bridges, hundreds of canals where romantic gondolas wind their way through the city, and is home to the famed Carnival of Venice, Venice Biennale and the Venice Film Festival.

For great images of Venice on film, check out Chasing Liberty (Yes, it's Mandy Moore, but it's a great chick flick), The Tourist (Yes, it got mostly sketchy reviews, but I loved it), and The Italian Job. 

Fairytale Regions - Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany

Neuschwanstein Castle is a Gothic Revival Castle located near Bavaria, Germany. It was built in 1869 by the King for Richard Wagner, a composer whose operas Tannhauser and Lohengrin made a lasting impression on the King. Pictured directly above in the Hall of Singers, part of the elaborate interior of the castle. Does the exterior look familiar? That's probably because it was the inspiration for Sleeping Beauty's Castle in Disneyland, California.
