The Great Wall of China
The Great Wall of China is in China of course and is roughly 6400km long. Some of you may have heard that the wall is the only visible man made object from space but it is a myth and has been proven by NASA. The Great Wall of China is one of the most beautiful places of the world because of the land around it and the spectacular views that you get at certain points of the wall. On a clear day you can miles and miles of shrubs and trees. If you see it in person the view is breathtaking.
The Victoria Waterfalls
The Victoria Waterfalls are located on the Zambezi River between Zambia and Zimbabwe. You can easily see wildlife from the waterfall and when the water is high mist rises up from the bottom and if you are in the right place at the right time you can see a rainbow in the mist. The drop of the waterfall is around 108 metres.
The Great Barrier Reef
The Great Barrier Reef is found of the coast of Queensland in North-East Australia and is a World Heritage Site. In recent years the reef has been affected by rising water temperatures thus causing some of the fish to find another place to live and this is causing the sea birds the die due to lack of food. On a clear sunny day you can see coral and fish for as far as you can see underwater.
Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls is shaped like a horse shoe and some people say if you visit it you will get good luck. It is located between the U.S. and Canada. Looking at the picture you can see that there are three waterfalls. The Horseshoe Falls are on the right side of the picture. Fifteen people have gone over the falls in some sort of capsule or device. Some of them survived other drowned and some escaped with serve injuries. Anyway Niagara Falls is an excellent place to visit in the spring and summer because of the clear skies and the mist that rises up because of the water falling down.
Venice
The Venice Canals are found in Italy. Venice is often referred to as the City of Water because of its canal system. Venice is one of the most beautiful places in the world because the buildings are built literary on the water and if you are at the edge of the city when the sun rises up you can see the beautiful ocean glistering in the morning sunlight. To get around Venice you have to travel by a Gondola or a motorised waterbus. There are very few cars in Venice as it is built on the water.
