GREAT WALL OF CHINA:-  The most well-known and popular legend of the great wall of China is the story of “men jiangnu’s bitter weeping,” which tells of a woman whose husband was killed building the wall. her tears were so bitter that the section of the wall collapsed to reveal her husband’s bones so she could bury him. the great wall is one of the seven wonders of the world. it runs in sections over a very long distance across China.

The wall is also referred to as the ‘long Wall’ as it is over 21,196 km/13,171 miles long. it was built with stones, bricks and tiles, earth as well as wooden material. the wall was completed in 1644, but it took more than 2,000 years to build. is one of the most famous landmarks for tourists to travel to, as a large number of tourists from all across the world keep on traveling to the Wall of China.

KREMLIN:- the grand Kremlin Palace is part of the Kremlin complex and is located next to the red square and St Basil’s Cathedral in Russia’s capital city Moscow. The Kremlin is a fortress with enclosing walls and is built along the Moskva River. the name ‘kremlin’ means ‘fortress within a city’. the more than 500-year-old Kremlin includes the wall with its 20 towers as well as four churches and five palaces within the walls. the kremlin was once the residence of the Tzars.

today, it is where the Russian president resides. the cathedral of Vasily the Blessed, usually referred to as saint basil’s Cathedral, is easily recognized due to its nine brightly colored onion domes. The Kremlin is well known for being one of the famous destinations to explore in Russia, so many visitors travel to see the beauty of the Kremlin.

LEANING TOWER OF PISA:- The leaning tower of Pisa is one of Italy’s major tourist attractions. the freestanding bell tower of the Pisa cathedral was built over almost two hundred years and was finished in 1399. The original height of the tower was 60 meters/196ft, but as it is leaning, the lowest side is now less than 56 meters/184ft. the construction already caused many problems as the soil was soft, sandy, and unstable. already during construction, the builders tried to balance the leaning side with more columns on the other side,

but the tower still leaned, like many other buildings in the area. in 2000, the tower was strengthened by putting stronger soil underneath the tower. you can walk up the 251 stairs to the viewing platform at the top of the tower which is quite an amazing experience. and of course, take a picture of you from the lawns next to the tower to 'hold' the tower.
