Youre going to be pretty busy if you want to see all the sights! A: I m planning to start early tomorrow morning. What should I do first? L: I think you should start with the Empire State Building. Its not the highest building now, but the views just beautiful in the morning, when its clear and fresh. You have to do that! A: Mm. It sounds great! Ill definitely do that. Which is the highest building in the city now? L: The World Trade Center building.

18. Eiffel Tower, Paris The Eiffel Tower, rising in the twilight sky above Paris, was built for the Worlds Fair in 1889. French engineer Alexandre Gustave Eiffel designed it as a cross-braced latticed girder with minimum wind resistance. onstructed from over 6300 metric tons (7000 tons) of highest quality wrought iron, it is a masterpiece of wrought-iron technology. Taj Mahal, India The Taj Mahal, designed as a tomb for the wife of a 17th-century Mughal emperor, was constructed by about 20,000 workers from 1631 to 1648 in Agra, a city in northern India. The massive domed structure was constructed in the Indo-Islamic style, using white marble and inlaid gems. At each corner is a minaret (prayer tower), and passages from the Koran, the Muslim holy book, adorn the outside walls. The bodies of the emperor and his wife remain in a vault below the building. London Tower Bridge The 244-m (800-ft) London Tower Bridge spans the Thames River in London. It was the only movable bridge crossing the Thames when it was completed in 1894. Sir Horace Jones designed the bridge, and Sir John Wolfe Barry built it. Soldiers of the Imperial Bodyguard These life-size terra-cotta figures are a small part of more than 6000 figures and horses that were made for the tomb of Emperor Shih Huang Ti of the Chin dynasty in China, 210 BC. They were originally painted in bright colors. The burial mound, in the northwestern province of Shanxi, was discovered in 1974. Colosseum The Colosseum in Rome (70-82) is best known for its multilevel system of vaults made of concrete. It is called the Colosseum for a colossal statue of Nero that once stood nearby, but its real name is the Flavian Amphitheater. It was used for staged battles between lions and Christians, among other spectacles, and is one of the most famous pieces of architecture in the world. Egyptian Pyramids Located on the west bank of the Nile River on the outskirts of Cairo, the pyramids at Giza, Egypt, rank as some of the most famous monuments in the world. The Egyptians constructed the pyramids between 2700 BC and 1000 BC to serve as royal tombs. Built without the use of cranes, pulleys, or lifting tackle, the massive structures stand as testaments to the engineering skills of the ancient Egyptians.
