The Seven Wonders of the Modern World, plus Famous Wonders, a Resourceful Website for Travelers

On the 2nd mid-term, there is a passage about the Channel Tunnel, or the Chunnel.   Reading the last sentence, "No wonder it's considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World," I was curious about the other six.   Surely it is easy to find the list online.   The following page of the website Famous Wonders gives not only the list but also a picture and a short descriptive passage for each Wonder.  Before clicking on the link, guess what the other six wonders are.

Among the seven, I've only seen two in person: the Empire State Building and the Golden Gate Bridge.  I decided to go through the Channel Tunnel one day.

Famous Wonders provides other Wonders lists, for example, the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World, which students must have learned in geography class, and the 7 Wonders of the Underwater World.  Moreover, there is a list of top 100 Cities around the world.  http://famouswonders.com/top-100-cities/  Just a look at the pictures of the cities is a feast for eyes. 

Guess what?  Taipei is on the list.  http://famouswonders.com/taipei/
