The Iconic Big Ben and its surroundings
Touring around in London and looking for all the iconic signatures?
Do you know that the Big Ben located at London SW1A 0AA was one of the 7 wonders in the world and can he seen on the many postcards and souvenirs in UK. But now it has been one of the 7 wonders in UK alone.
The Big Ben also called the clock tower has been given its name due to the loud striking if the bell at the north end of the Palace of Westminster. Surprisingly this was also hiikt in 1859 that is a more than 150 over years ago and such a remarkable structure. Being built so long ago, this cloud is known for its accuracy and its hourly ringing of the bell. So far the tower has been in restoration and is currently closed so you won't be able to gain access into it.
But you can take many photos of the big Ben and the surroundings of it, try also looking for that iconic red telephone booths that you always seen in shows, postcards and even souvenirs.

greatest wonder of the world
as one of the greatest wonders of the world, so far there is still nobody can figure how this pyramids were made. when you’re far away, it’s hard to imagine how big they are. i have stayed in a hotel with the view of pyramids, yet, when I got close, then you can fully appreciate the beauty and magnificence of the pyramids.
it’s a must visit place in Egypt and it’s truly a fascinating place. however, you should be a bit careful of the street vendors and those people who ride the camels. you need to pay for the pictures and everything inside. if you go inside alone, there is a big chance you will get constantly harassed.
we hired a guide from our hotel, had this lovely ride and the guide really knows how to take good pictures of us in this complex. #passionpassport #gooutside #7wonders #egypt

One Of The 7 Wonders In The World
India is a beautiful spot for a holiday if planned well! For us, we went via tour to Agar, jaipur and the red Fort via a private tour thruout the entire journey and it was remarkable!
The Taj Mahal is one of the highlight of this trip where its located in Agar, Uttar Pradesh a remarkable iconic monument in India. The entire complex is approx 50 football size field and it all started with a love story of the fifth emperor who built it to remember his wife, Mumtaz Mah, a muslim princess and currently both emperor and princess is buried in Taj Mahal but a replica of the tomb is accessible to the public.
Do take note that, when entering The Taj Mahal no shoes and phototaking are allowed to ensure there is no disrespect towards both the emperor and princess who are laid to rest there.

Badaling Great Wall
When I was kid, I read in my book longest wall on earth- Great Wall of China. I always dreamt of seeing it and fortunately I got chance to go and see. When I saw I thought now I know why it’s in the list of 7 wonders. Great Wall is magnificent, wonderful. I went to multiple parts of wall and Badaling is one of the good form part. Views are very nice you will be able to see long stretch of walls from top. I went in Winter and summer and summer looks more magnificent with greenery. Great Wall hike is amazing and if someone is visiting China, Great Wall is like pilgrimage and a must visit attraction. One can take direct bus from the city, it drops at the entrance of Great Wall. Easy to reach and can come back by evening.

Beijing’s 慕田峪 Great Wall
How to get there - The hotel I was staying at helped us hire a driver. We left at around 6am and arrived around 7.
Attraction - One of the beautiful world’s 7 wonders! The hotel recommended Mu Tian Yu for 2 reasons:
1- It is less busy than Badaling
2- The scenery is stunning
*Get there early! It gets super busy starting at around 9am. We were able to take stunning photos because we were there very early.
Shops - Along the way there are a few stands here and there where you can buy some drinks, snacks, and souvenirs.
Have fun!

The Statue Of Liberty
Who doesn't visit Statue Of Liberty when you are on vacation in New York City.
There is only 1 way to the island of Statue Of Liberty, which is via ferry. Do go early as the queue gets INSANELY Long. We took about 90mins before we are able to get our tickets. Do check out for any discounts of certain apps, or via trip.com. As the tickets can be quite costly, i remember paying about $40 per person, but not sure if the price has increased since.
As this is a very popular attraction in New York do plan your trip there. There are couple of things to do, like heading up to the top of statue of liberty, but this has extra charges on top of your entrance fee. You could also join the Promenade and Observatory Tour or have a self-guided tour of the liberty island which costs less than $10 per person. Their audio has different languages so you do not have to worry.
If you worry about food, liberty island where the statue of liberty is has a huge cafe called the liberty crown cafe. They offer both eat in and take away options, and it has a huge food options but mainly western. Price wise, isn't too expensive to be honest due to the size of the burger. But i do recommend bringing your own water as the bottled drinks there are quite expensive, costing to $3USD or more.
In addition, your ferry ticket will consist of Ellis Island which is another hour or so so take your time and have everything planned out before heading there. Ellis island used to be one of the busiest immigrant inspection station in the united states back in 1892 to 1924. Ellis island now is home to a museum with history for visitors like us to visit.

Iconic Golden Gate Bridge San Franisco
One trip is NEVER complete if you do not visit the golden gate bridge in San Francisco. This is the most iconic, tourist attraction, being completed in 1937 for the tallest and longest suspension bridge in the world. This is named one of the 7th wonders of the world and it took 4 years to complete and ialso the most photographed bridge in the world.
You have to go there on both day and night to catch the different views of the golden gate bridge. And we were just lucky to also catch a rainbow just after a short passing shower making it extra spectacular in the day. This is definitely not photoshopped!
The 2 point where i took a photo was at the golden gate view point and the golden gate beach parking lot at Marine Drive.
The golden gate beach parking lot at marine drive has a nice view from afar of the entire bridge, there is also a nice little park for a nice run towards another attraction at the wave organ. This running route is only about 3.8-4km long, with the view infront of you i bet it is gonna be an easy run.
At the golden gate bridge there are also free walking tours twice weekly but be sure to check for more information and schedule of the walks. There is also an equator coffee at the round house with onsite exhibits about the history, science and engineering behind the bridge's construction. Give yourself about 2-3 hours here, to have ample time for all the sight seeing, hikes and attractions.

That wall that divides past and future
Visiting the Great Wall of China definitely feels like a milestone. You read so much about this world’s heritage site, that experiencing it feels beyond anything you can dream off.
The Badaling section of the Great Wall is the most popular, dates from Ming dynasty and its highest point is 1015m (Beibalou). Yanqing county is located 80km away from Beijing downtown. There are few stores and restaurants in the base of the Wall, Subway can be the easiest option considering you are about to walk for hours.
You can reach the summit by walking or taking a cable car. Be prepared for a long walk around the wall, difficulty levels may depend on walk the side you chose to explore. Both ways, scenery is absolutely breathtaking. Even more if you consider you are now part of ancient history and one of the seven wonders of the world. Even more surprisingly, internet there is great.
Remember you have to go back over your steps to get down to the wall’s base. Now, the exciting part of leaving is that you get to do it by riding a toboggan!! Of course, the cars could be as fast as the other people in front of you are going, but worth every moment of it.
