Tamaudun, a World Heritage Site with an impressive intricate stone structure

At first glance, it looks like a ruin in the jungle of Southeast Asia, or a fort built by Europeans in the Age of Discovery in the Caribbean, or a coastal ruin such as an ancient Chinese mausoleum, but it is actually a ruin in Okinawa, Japan. Tamaudun is pronounced "tamaudoun". It was built in 1501 by King Sho Shin to rebury the remains of his father, King Sho En. The stonework is as precise and precise as the stone walls of Cusco, Peru, and the high level of craftsmanship is astonishing. It is surrounded by lush banyan trees like those in Southeast Asia, making it a World Heritage site with a full exotic atmosphere. To access, walk 15 minutes from Shuri Station on the Yui Rail along the edge of Shuri Castle Park. Halfway through, you will be walking along the castle walls of Shuri Castle, overlooking the city of Shuri and enjoying the tropical scenery.
