The world we live in has so much to offer in terms of spectacular things to see and truly inspirational things to experience. It is often the case that different things will appeal to different people and not everything will be ideally suited to people’s desires and opinions of what is beauty and perfection. 
However, there are three things that stand out as must-see as they combine a fabulous cultural experience with wonderful heritage.
The Great Wall of China is a memorable landmark and has fascinated people from all over the world for years. It is exotic architecture at its best and is the ultimate place to head for a sightseeing trip and a real taste of heritage and culture. You won’t believe its size until you are actually there and probably cannot appreciate it the way you should do unless you have experienced what a historic gem it really is. There isn’t anything else like this in the world and for that reason it has to be on the list of the great wonders of the world. It’s a sheer spectacular.
The Taj Mahal is a perfect example of how architecture can be one of the best attractions in the world. This magical building is wonderfully serene and has a real sense of peace. The Taj Mahal is a symbol of love and is known for its monumental beauty. There is no wonder that it is one of the biggest tourist hotspots in the country. The word Taj Mahal means Crown Palace in English and is made up of white marbles and colourful gemstones. It is full of culture and really shows how diversity can be such an eye opening experience. India is a great place to visit in its own right but this has to be the only thing that will give you a truly authentic Indian experience.
We’ve mentioned two stunning pieces of architecture that have been classed as a ‘wonder’ this third delight is completely different but just as special. If fact, you could say it blows the other two out of the water! The Great Barrier Reef is home to a least 300 different species of hard coral, worms, sponges, crabs, crayfish and many more. The blinding colours will provide you with images that you thought were impossible to see and give you a real appreciation of the life that goes on beneath us. The Great Barrier Reef is located off Australia’s north eastern coast line in the Pacific Ocean. The beauty stretches over 1,250 miles and is around 135,000 square miles in area which makes it even more special. This true wonder has been classed as the biggest and most magnificent structure that living creatures have ever built. Amen to that.
