The Most Popular Places In The World

by Marquis Yeung (5G)

Exploring and sightseeing are a part of life, so pack your bags, and let's have some fun learning about the most popular places in the world!

1. The Eiffel Tower (Paris, France)                                                             

The Eiffel Tower is an iron structure. It is the symbol of Paris and one of the most photographed places in the world. The Eiffel Tower is for artists looking to churn their creativity juices, young travelers heading out onto the streets for the first time, and couples in the mood for a romantic getaway. It’s arguably the most famous manmade feat ever, and when you see it in person, you can understand why!             

Perhaps the top destination of them all, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France sure does stand out!

2. The Colosseum (Rome, Italy)

This massive sculpture is an attraction for all people visiting the charming capital city of Rome. It has been a travelers’ bucket-list destination for generations and it does not disappoint. This tremendous piece of human innovation is set in the heart of the city, making it impossible to miss. Tourists immediately take out their phones and cameras to snap a picture of Italy’s most legendary landmark.

Imagine being a gladiator back in the day, Would you fight to the death here?

3. Statue of Liberty (New York City, U.S.A)

America is full of incredible sights and places to visit and explore, but it is the Statue of Liberty that represents the U.S. like no other place. This symbol of love and freedom was a gift from France in 1896. You have to ride a boat to get up close to it, but in the right light and on a nice sunny day, you’ll be glad you did!

The ultimate symbol of freedom, the Statue of Liberty is American culture in a nutshell (or a tall copper statue!).

4. The Tai Mahal (Agra, India)

The Tai Mahal is a record and memory for you going to India. The view is impressive, and surrounding gardens and reflecting pools make the place more unique and beautiful. This fantastic place made with inlaid stones and semi-precious stones should be fully appreciated.

The Taj Mahal represents storytelling, history and culture like few other buildings.

5. Mount Fuji ( Yamanashi, Japan ) 

Mount Fuji is the most well-known and highest mountain in Japan. Often snowcapped, this dormant volcano is both a spiritual site and one of the top attractions in the country. Soaring 377 meters high, Fuji is one of the three Holy Mountains, all of which UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Make sure to hike during sunrise to the summit!

“Man cannot discover new oceans unless he dares to lose sight of the shore.” – Andre Gide.

I agree.

Mt. Fuji in Japan is one of the most recognisable natural wonders on earth.
