The Great Wall of China is one of the greatest sights in the world.  It is an awe-inspiring feat of ancient defensive architecture. It follows an incredible winding path over rugged country and steep mountains.

The Great Wall is the world's longest building project.  Taking the longest time to complete and costing the greatest number of human lives, blood, sweat and tears.  Ever!

When the Eiffel Tower was completed in 1889, it towered over the surrounding buildings.  Silently guarding the streets of Paris, stretching 320 metres into the sky.  It was the tallest building in the world until the 1930’s when the Empire State building claimed the crown!
