The island of dinosaurs
If there is a chance I could visit any place from fiction, it would be the island of Nublar. It is a fictional island used in the movies and novels of Jurassic Park and its sequels. It is located about 120 miles (193 km) west of Costa Rica and has an active volcano. The island was intended to be the site of Jurassic Park, a tourist attraction featuring living biological dinosaurs cloned from prehistoric DNA. In the first novel and film, Isla Nublar is the place of a dinosaur theme park proposed by InGen, but it fails to open after the dinos escape. I would love to visit there and watch the dinosaurs roaming freely on the island. If there is a chance to visit the island, I would definitely go there.
The Shire
The Shire is a place from J.R.R.Tolkien’s novel “The Lord of the Rings”. It is a town occupied by the hobbits. It is a happy town full of positivity. Everyone there is innocent and enjoys themselves. The reason I I would like to visit the Shire is because the people there are content with what they have and they are neither greedy nor have bad intentions. The place is green and it is famous for its rolling hills, quaint streams and green fields. The hobbits live there in small houses, which are apt for their size. The author describes the town as, “beautiful, idyllic and fruitful and beloved by its inhabitants”. The shire is guarded by Dunedin rangers who patrol the borders to keep out intruders. It is a symbol of home. Frodo and Sam go on a very long journey and endure a lot of pain only to protect the Shire, its people and their happiness. The Shire is a peaceful place and that is why I would love to visit it.
Camp Jupiter
I love fictional places such as the Capitol from the “Hunger Games”, Hogwarts from the “Harry Potter’ series, and Camp Half-Blood from the “Percy Jackson” series, not specifically in that order. Although they are appealing, I think that these locations are bland and lack architectural attraction.
But Camp Jupiter – the den of the Roman demigods, made from bricks of imperialism and crafted from arms of discipline is one place from fiction that I would love to visit. Straight from the pages of the succeeding series of Percy Jackson, called the “Heroes of Olympus”, it has been described intricately by Rick Riordan. Unlike the Greek counterpart, this camp has more beautiful views: curving stone pathways dipping into green jungles, beautiful stretches of lawn, the Coliseum. The Little Tiber River flowing around the circumference of the camp and dipping into the lake, which is surrounded by buildings such as the Garden Café. Annabeth, an architect of Olympus, herself gawked at the terrific looking camp. Apart from its architectural brilliance, I also love the discipline spawning from the camp: they have a strict etiquette. I would love to read more stories from Rick Riordan with the camp in the backdrop.
Travel to fantasy worlds
Everyone wants to escape reality and go live in their favourite fictional world. But if you ask me, I don’t want to go to just one single fictional place and live there forever. My wish is to be able to travel from one fantasy world to another.
My journey into the world books started with the “Famous Five” series by Enid Blyton. I really loved the Kirrin island with its ruined castle and dungeons and wanted to have adventures with the Famous Five. Then, when I read the Harry Potter books, I dreamed of going to the magical world of Hogwarts -sitting in the great hall, exploring the Forbidden Forest getting lost with the moving staircases and even finding the Room of Requirement. Later, when I read the Percy Jackson books, it changed everything. Now I wish to become a demigod, go to Camp Half Blood, get daimed and maybe even go on a quest. With each new book I read, I wished to go to a new world and live with my favourite characters, except for maybe when I read “Divergent”, “Hunger Games” and the “Maze Runner” series. I want to be able to visit all the worlds whenever I wish
The Smurfiest Place
The fictional place that I would love to visit is the place that knows no sadness. A place deep inside an enchanted forest, inhabited by Sony Pictures Animation beings who are just three apples high! A place where the houses are mushrooms set among cobblestone paths, green grass, and rippling streams. Smurf Village! I would love to meet the Smurfs, who are named after their personalities and are assigned a task in the village, according to their abilities. I’d be delighted to meet Clumsy. Smurfette, Hackus and Papa Smurf and celebrate sui generis festivals with them. I am intrigued by the fact that even though they are so different from one another, they accept each other as they are and live happily in Smurf Village. I also love their inspirational beliefs, quotes and the way they encourage each other to be what they want to be.
Hogwarts
The one place from fiction that I would love to visit would be Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from the famous Harry Potter series, and I can say this without an iota of hesitancy. Since the first time I read a book from the series to now, I have always marvelled at the aspect of really being at Hogwarts – which is an absolutely breathtaking result of an extraordinary imagination of J.K. Rowling. The Quidditch stadium, Professor Dumbledore’s office, the dormitories, the secret passages, the Room of Requirement, the talking portraits, all are just too good to be real, even Snape’s dungeons won’t be disappointing, I guess! It would be really interesting to have a chat with the Sorting Hat. Oh wait! I almost forgot about the great Peeves, the Poltergeist! Then there are the Houses’ Common Rooms too…what a bliss it would be to simply sit on the armchair near the fire in Gryffindor Common Room. Surely, I won’t mind chatting with Headless Nick or even Bloody Baron! By the way, I don’t think anyone would dislike a feast at Hogwarts! The list of attractions at Hogwarts is endless as everything there is magical…from the daily classes to the staircases, Hogwarts is full of magic, and I tell you that even a day there would be completely worth it.
The castle beckons
Hearing about Platform Nine and Three Quarters, School for Witchcraft and Wizardry’ and Harry Potter, the first thing that comes to mind, is the Hogwarts castle. It is the one place from fiction that I would love to visit. Catching the first glimpse of Hogwarts, looming upon a sheer cliff, is an enthralling sight in itself. The plush entrance hall, the snug but precluded common rooms, the 142 moving staircases and the talking portraits adorning the worn walls, narrate stories about Hogwarts that have been lost in the mists of time. Hogwarts witnessed the destruction of the Philosophers Stone; the Triwizard Tournament; and the historical war against Voldemort. Visiting this iconic spot set in the highlands of Scotland, would be like breathing life into the Harry inside me.
Mouse Land City
No matter how much we grow or wherever we go, we are always attached to our childhood memories. So, the one fictional place I would love to visit would be Mouse Land City from the “Geronimo Stilton” books. Anyone can come up with a story revolving around human beings, but it is extraordinary to imagine a plot which is about a spooky mouse. A place where different types of mice live a normal life just like humans. The second reason I would like to visit Mouse Land City would be the “Rodent Gazette”. Since Geronimo was an editor there, I too aspire to become an editor. I think that Mouse Land City is quite unique as life there is always unpredictable. Sometimes it is quiet, but often it gets adventurous. And because of its uniqueness I would love to visit that place once in my lifetime.
Namia
The place I would like to visit is Namia where some animals can talk, mythical beasts exist and magic is common. The world of Namia is a flat world. Its stars are shining sentient beings and the sun is a flaming disc. Vegetation is known to have healing properties. I would like to go there through my wardrobe. I have always wanted to go to a place where I can speak with animals especially with Aslan, the great Lion who created Narnia. He sacrificed his life for the sinful human being (Edmund). In Narnia, I would like to meet the kind hearted Mr. Tumnus (the faun) and the courageous Beavers. I also want to meet Santa Claus and receive precious magical gifts from him. I want to participate in the battle of Narnia against the evil white witch. I want to live happily and play with dwarfs, fauns, Jill Pole etc. I would like to live with them in a world where evils powers like the White Witch and the Green Lady don’t overpower and harm others. Narnia is a beautiful and magical land. I would like to grow up in Narnia and still return as a child to my home.
Avonlea
Avonlea in Prince Edward Island, Canada is the fictional place I would love to visit. L.M. Montgomery’s “Anne of Green Gables” is set in this lively fictional town. Drama, action, tragedy and romance never ends in Avonlea. Since Avonlea is located on the Northem Shore of P.E Island, in winter, Avonlea is blanketed in a clear white sheet of snow and in spring, trees come alive with flowers, bird song fills the warm spring air and lively fairs are held showcasing people’s baking skills and extraordinary vegetables. The people of Avonlea make you feel at home. Avonlea is the best fictional place to stay.
Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory
The one palace from fiction that I would I love to visit is Mr. Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory from the book “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”. I would love to travel with Charlie and the other children to the wonderful world of chocolates.
The Chocolate River, the Nut Room, the Glass Elevator and so many places to see. All of them, crafted carefully by Willy Wonka, the genius of the factory. Even though I cannot visit this place physically, the Chocolate Factory will be a cherished place that I can always visit in my imagination.
21st Nome
If there is a place I would like to visit (and possibly live in), it will be the 21st Nome in Brooklyn in the “Kane Chronicles” series. This one takes the No. 1 spot on my list of fantastic fictional places. The 21st Nome is a sanctuary for Egyptian magicians in the “Kane Chronicles” and it is part of a worldwide network of 360 Nomes where Egyptian magicians can train and follow the Path of the Gods. The Brooklyn Nome is the first Nome that the readers are introduced to. In ‘The Red Pyramid”, Sadie and Carter Kane are introduced to the mystical undercover Egyptian world and inducted the Nome by their Uncle Amos. They learn more about magic and gods here. Heavily enchanted with magic to keep mortals out. I would simply love to visit the Nome. It basically looks like a combination of a museum and a luxury hotel. So yeah, I’m pretty sure that no one would ever leave such a place filled with magic knowledge, fun and luxury.
Kirrin island
The adventures of the Five (Julian, Dick, George, Anne and Timmy) have always excited me. I look forward to seeing the crystal blue water of the Kirrin Bay surrounding the Kirrin island. I long to go with the Five into these calm waters for a refreshing swim. The Kirrin cottage, with its secret passages and hideouts, has been the summer house of the Five. I really hope they take me to their island. Kirrin Bay, we will surely meet soon.
Adventure Island
If I ever get a chance to go to a fictional place then I would like to go to Adventure Island from the story of “Peter Pan”. I want to go to that island because I want to fly in the sky like a bird. I also wish to see fairies and fly with the help of pixie dust. I would like to meet Peter Pan. Michael, John and ask them all about their adventures, and have fun on the island.
I will also meet Captain Hook and his pirates. I have never seen pirates in real life. So, I would love to visit Adventure Island.
