There are many lists of "Wonders of the World". Sometimes they're qualified as "Ancient Wonders", sometimes "Modern Wonders". Some sites make "all" the lists, some not. Here's our list -- at least of the places one or both of us have visited.
| Name | Location | Why's it a wonder? |
|---|---|---|
| Borobudur | Java Indonesia | Huge, old, Hindu, Buddhist. Stone. 2nd visit 2010. |
| Angkor Wat | Siem Reap, Cambodia | Huge, old, Hindu, Buddhist. Stone. The Khemmer Rouge managed to not destroy it. Angkor is just one of many (hundreds) of temples in that part of Cambodia. They're still finding them. |
| Taj Mahal | Agra, India | Tribute to love (it's a tomb). An astonishing building in a dumpy town. |
| Great Wall of China | Badaling, China | Keep out Mongol hordes? Nice try (but they're too clever). The Great Wall is amazing due to its scale -- but being inundated with shops and KFC stores (no joke) is disappointing. |
| Pyramids of Egypt | Egypt | The pyramids, Sphinx, temples at Luxor and other sites along the Nile are like nothing else in the world. Don't go in the summer and don't drink the water. |
| Panama Canal | Panama | An Engineering feat, with an interesting political history 3-times through. |
| Easter Island | Posession of Chile | Ancient stone moai dot the landscape. We know where they were made -- but how were they transported? What really happened to the culture? |
| Name | Location | Features |
|---|---|---|
| Arches | Um, arches? Sandstone formations with holes. Donuts in geographic time | |
| Canyonland | ||
| Bryce Canyon | ||
| Zion | ||
| Carlsbad Canyon | ||
| Saguaro | ||
| Capital Reef | Petroglyphs | |
| Grand Canyon | AZ (North Rim) |
