1. The Great Wall of China (220 B.C and 1368 - 1644 A.D.) China
I choose The Great Wall because I am a Chinese. The Great Wall is China's proud, and it's the only one visible from space. If you walk at the Great Wall, it makes you breathtaking. Do you think it's really amazing?
2. The Taj Mahal (1630 A.D.) Agra, India
Because this building represents real LOVE. It is said that the emperor built the beautiful building according to her life's dream. After his beloved wife died, he spent 22 years to build this unique structure to memorize his lover. Finally, the emperor died in The Taj Mahal. What a sad love story it is!
3.Stonehenge (3000 B.C. - 1600 B.C.) Amesbury, United Kingdom
It is really amazed me what on earth these kind of stone are? Who can move such huge stone around 3000 B.C. - 1600 B.C. without modern equipment? What is the purpose for it? I wonder if there really exist human-beings live outside the earth? Hope in the sooner future, scientists can discover it.
4.The Roman Colosseum (70 - 82 A.D.) Rome, Italy
Because of the movie" the Gladiator", I vote this great amphitheater. I believe inside that amphitheater, a lot of Innocent poor people died for making rich people laugh. They fought for freedom, for liberty.
5.The Pyramids of Giza (2600 - 2500 B.C), Egypt
When I was a little girl, I heard about the Pyramids. I realize that Egypt is a mysterious place because of the Pyramids. I want to know everything about the Pyramids. Watching all the movies or fictions about the Pyramids. In the ancient, people can build such accurate grave for emperors. Even nowadays, our intelligent can't exceed the people who built the Pyramids.
6.Machu Picchu (1460-1470), Peru
" In the variety of its charms and the power of its spell, I know of no place in the world which can compare with it." These words came from Hiram Bingham who wrote the book " Lost of the Incas". Machu Picchu impresses me not only it was a city in the clouds on the mountain, but also that book. This city was built on a mountain at an elevation of about over 2350-2430 feet, and it has been "lost" for more than 3 centuries.
7. The Statue of Liberty (1886) New York City, U.S.A.
This is the symbol of liberty. French gave this Statue of Liberty as a gift when the United State of America independent for 100 years. She is standing there as a witness welcome more and more ships deliver many immigrants come to the U.S.A. for freedom and liberty.
