  1. To qualify as a wonder of the world, a place or structure has to be big and tall, very mysterious and over 1000 years old! The wonder I would like to visit and know secrets about it is the great pyramids in Egypt because it is a building structure that have survived over 1000 years and even some are more than 3000 years old! I am interested in knowing how it was built to survive the harsh weather of the desert. There was no technology at that time but how did they build it big and tall? Some even believed that aliens helped the ancient Egypt to build it!

  2. To be declared as a world's wonder, the structure's unique spectacle and outstanding beauty are required.However, age does not matter. One of the world most amazing architectural wonder to which II would like to visit is the Javanese grand masterpiece, Borobudur Temple.This temple is so uniquely amazing as it was built to cover a mountain. I am attracted to the temple because of it majestic ,strong-looking appearance. I also want to see it 2672 relief panels and it 72 perfectly carved stupas. A visit to Borobudur would be a taste of An unforgettable experience for everybody.

  3. To qualify as a wonder of the world, a place or structure has to be huge and amazing,unique and at least 300 years old.The wonder if the world that i would like to visit the most is Taj Mahal which is located in Agra,India because It is considered to be one of the most beautiful buildings in the world and as i see,it is really amazing and beautiful. Especially i am so impressed by the reason for building The Taj Mahal, Mughal emperor Shah Jahan built it in the memory of his third wife,Mamtaz Mahal which died in the birth of their 14th child. He was so sad after the dead of his beloved wife so then he decided to build it as a symbol of ETERNAL LOVE that encourage me visiting there to see the place of True and forever love. One more reason to make me wanting to visit there because the architecture is very interesting with the materials of building,the design of the building and the garden and also the surprising construction of it.

  4. To qualify as a wonder of the world, a place or structure has to be incredible, ancient, steady and tells us a lot about the past. The wonder of the world I would most like to visit is the Mayan Pyramid, because it was built long ago by the Mayan, at the time Europe wasn't yet developed. It's so unbelievable, how could they built such a huge building ( about 20 stories building ) in the ancient time when technology was not so high. So I want to visit there and observe more about the building.

  6. To qualify as a wonder, that place should be something that everyone interested in the most and also be HISTORICAL. And the most important part is that it must be amazing just to hear the name of that place. And the wonder that i would like to visit the most is Colosseum in Italy. I Love Italy, you know!

  11. To be accounted for being a wonder of the world, a specific wonder needs to have a great attraction attached to it. A wonder needs to be a place or object with a great deal of history or mystery connected with it and possibly even be an architectural gold mine. To be honest I agree, a wonder needs to have all those elements to be considered a world-wide international wonder. For me the Pyramids of Giza is a place I would like to visit. It's rich history and the architectural brilliance of the structure only makes me want to visit it even more.

  12. To qualify as a wonder of the world, a place or structure has to be unique, beautiful, and mysterious . The wonder of the world I would most like to visit is The Great Barrier Reef, because it is said to have 300 different types of coral which are said to form with the skeletons of marines polyps. The reef is not a home to only the corals, other animals is known to have the reef as the protector from their extinction.
