No other landmarks in the world inspire such a strong feeling of love for travel as this single iron structure (钢铁建筑).This is a city where travelers of all kinds can find the experience they're after.

The Statue of Liberty, New York City

America is full of great sights and places to visit, but it's the Statue of Liberty that symbolizes the United States. This symbol of freedom in New York City was gifted by the French to the American people in 1886. The best thing to do is to take a ride up to her crown (王冠) and get the view over the city.

The Acropolis, Athens

Standing above present-day Athens, the Acropolis draws you up and in. Follow in the footsteps of the ancients as you walk up the same steps that have been walked on since 438 BC. Views out over the city are amazing as you walk between the ancient buildings. Near the end of the day, you'll want to watch the sunset from the stairs near the entrance.

Pyramids of Giza, Egypt

If you’ve visited places like the Colosseum in Rome or the Acropolis in Athens, built over 2,000 years ago, you may think you have a good handle on ancient sites.
