What an amazing book!!! It opened my eyes to lots of world wonders, and gave me interesting knowledge about them, from their history, formation to their beauty and why they are such world wonders. And the photos illustrating these wonders are absolutely breathtaking!
Among the 11 world wonders presented in this book, I have had the privilege to visit Angkor Wat. And out of the 10 remaining wonders that I have yet to visit, my must-sees are Petra - city of pink stone in Jordan; The Alhambra in Granada, Spain (my oh my, its photos gave me goosebumps. And who would have thought there were Muslim kings ruling Spain at that time? ^^); The Iguazú Falls at the border of Argentina and Brazil; The Grand Canyon in Arizona, US; and the lights of the aurora. OMG, there are so many beautiful things to see in this world!!!
