The world's best tourist paradise is Palawan Island Philippines.

Palawan Island in the Philippines has been crowned the Best In The World by travellers

It’s the third year in a row the remote island, surrounded by 1,800 small islets and famed for its white beaches, stunning views and crystal clear water, was given the crown.

Palawan, the largest and most sparsely populated island in the Philippines, has shipwrecks and reefs which make it perfect for scuba diving and snorkelling.

Emerald green jungle-filled mountains appear to rise from the turquoise waters and secluded beaches make it a perfectly romantic paradise.

Palawan is also home to a five-mile-long underground river, considered one of the world’s wonders of nature, and visitors can get a boat through its limestone caverns.

Aside from boat, one of the preferred modes of transport on the island is by motor-run tricycle.

11 years imprisonment, Chinese Nobel laureate dies.

  The Chinese activist and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo has died at the age of 61, the government has said.

The country’s most famous political prisoner was being treated for terminal liver cancer in a heavily-guarded hospital in northeast China. Mr Liu had been transferred from prison last month where he was serving an 11-year term for “subversion”.

Mr Liu might be a name rarely uttered in the west but many argue the unsung hero must be remembered alongside the other big name dissidents of the 20th century.

The human rights activist, who took part in the 1989 pro-democracy Tiananmen Square demonstrations, was arrested in 2008 after writing a pro-democracy manifesto titled Charter 08 in which he called for an end to one-party rule and advances in human rights. It was signed by thousands of people in China.
