1. Great Wall of China is so grand in its scale that it snakes its way through the People’s Republic, in various tangents, for more than 20,000 kilometres (12,425 miles). The Great Wall of China is a series of fortifications made of stone, brick, tamped earth, wood, and other materials, generally built along an east-to-west line across the historical northern borders of China to protect the Chinese states and empires against the raids and invasions of the various nomadic groups of the Eurasian Steppe.

2. Machu Picchu in Peru ,7000 feet above sea level and nestled on a small hilltop between the Andean Mountain Range, the majestic city soars above the Urabamba Valley below. The Incan built structure has been deemed the “Lost Cities”, unknown until its relatively recent discovery in 1911. Archaeologists estimate that approximately 1200 people could have lived in the area, though many theorize it was most likely a retreat for Incan rulers. Due to it’s isolation from the rest of Peru, living in the area full time would require traveling great distances just to reach the nearest village.

3. Grand Canyon in USA It’s one of the seven wonders of the natural world, but it doesn’t need any titles to impress; the numbers speak for themselves. The Grand Canyon of the Colorado River is a mile-deep canyon (1.6 km) that bisects the park. Even though the average distance across the canyon is only 10 miles/ 16 km, it takes 5 hours to drive the 215 miles / 346 km between the park's South Rim Village and the North Rim Village.

4. Antarctica the Earth's southernmost point, Antarctica is the driest and coldest of the seven continents. As the fifth largest continent in the world, Antarctica is also the most Southern, overlying the "South Pole". Scarcely touched by humans, the frozen land boasts breathtaking scenery, broken by only a handful of scientific bases and a "permanent" population of scientists numbering only a few thousand. Visitors to Antarctica generally must brave rough sea crossings aboard ice-strengthened vessels, but those who do are rewarded with amazing scenery and tremendous and unique wildlife.

5. Great Barrier Reef in Australia is 2,600 kilometres (1,680 miles) in length and easily the largest living structure on earth. The Great Barrier Reef is one of the seven wonders of the natural world, and pulling away from it, and viewing it from a greater distance, you can understand why. It is larger than the Great Wall of China and the only living thing on earth visible from space. The reef is a breeding area for humpback whales, migrating from the Antarctic and is also the habitat of a few endangered species including the Dugong (Sea Cow) and large Green Sea Turtle. In recognition of its significance, UNESCO listed the Great Barrier Reef as a World Heritage Site in 1981. Because of its natural beauty, both below and above the water’s surface, the reef has become one of the worlds most sought after tourist destinations.

6. The Colosseum in Italy completed in 80 A.D., Rome’s Colosseum remains the world’s largest amphitheatre nearly 2,000 years later, and a towering testament to the technological prowess of the Roman Empire.The Roman Colosseum is the most famous monument to have survived from the classical world. It was built nearly two thousand years ago for the purpose of hosting violent gladiator games. Thousands of men and animals fought for their lives in the sandy arena. A few gladiators and warriors found glory there. Some even found fame and riches but many more died an anonymous death, providing entertainment for eager Roman spectators. The Colosseum today is now a major tourist attraction in Rome with thousands of tourists each year paying to view the interior arena, though entrance for citizens of the European Union(EU) is partially subsidised, and entrance is free for EU citizens under eighteen or over sixty-five years of age.

7. The Eiffel Tower in France constructed from 1887–89 as the entrance to the 1889 World's Fair, it was initially criticised by some of France's leading artists and intellectuals for its design, but it has become a global cultural icon of France and one of the most recognisable structures in the world. The tower is 324 metres (1,063 ft) tall, about the same height as an 81-storey building, and the tallest structure in Paris.

8. Yellowstone National Park Since it's enactment in 1872, Yellowstone National Park continues to be America'smost beloved park as nearly 3 million visitors a year will attest. Located in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, Yellowstone has over 2 million acres of the most pristine scenery, wildlife, waterfalls and of course hydrothermal features that exist nowhere else in the world.

9. Maldives located on top of a vast underwater mountain range have around 1190 islands and sandbanks, the pearl string like islands covers a land area of no less than 298 km all the islands are encircled by a lagoon blessed with crystal clear water, these islands are protected by a reef structure, housing one of the most exclusive and spectacular underwater life.

10. Angkor Wat in Cambodia is a temple complex in Cambodia and the largest religious monument in the world and the best preserved, is an architectural masterpiece, its perfection in composition, balance, proportions, relief's and sculpture make it one of the finest monuments in the world.
