Co Loa Citadel has the perfect connection with the miraculous legend of Vietnamese, to take an example: since King An Duong Vuong established the kingdom, the Citadel was constructed; the magic crossbow as a gift from the Golden Turtle which can kill hundreds of invaders; the heartrending love story of My Chau princess and son of Trieu Da, Trong Thuy, and so forth. Time to time, the citadel together with its historic characters has become a legend in the sub-conscious mind of Vietnam.

The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest and most overwhelming of the Seven wonders of the World. Just the grandeur of the structure intrigues the spectator to question what and how it would have been made. The Great Pyramids is a marvel in both aspects of design and construction. We all know how the pyramids have achieved perfect alignment with an accuracy of one-fifteenth of a degree. To date, experts have difficulty answering exactly how such a massive construction was carried out in those times with no machinery and limited resources. They believe an advanced study of astronomy could aid in such a precise structure. The Great Pyramid of Giza also acts as an enormous sundial that can tell time and signal solstices and equinoxes.

We all know about the Great Wall of China as one of the most celebrated human achievements and have dreamed of walking down it someday to appreciate the vastness and majestic views properly. Many stories about the great wall are spoken of, but only a few know about some shocking tales of the world’s most famous landmark. The most common myth about the Great Wall of China has been told to us from childhood, stating that it can be seen from outer space with a naked eye. You’ll be surprised to know that this, however, is not true. This was a false rumor that started in the 19th century to exaggerate the wall’s vastness and was believed with no proof insight. Another shocking revelation is that it is not made of a single wall. Many people often imagine the great wall to be in a continuous line, 21,000 km long. It is made of a series of branched walls that are parallel, intersecting, and sometimes breaking to make way for rivers and streams. It is assumed to take about 18 months to walk on the entirety of the wall, with multiple Starbucks on the way for people aiming high. The Great Wall is built over a span of 22 centuries and under the rule of over seven Chinese dynasties. It is an example of powerful construction and has not undergone any major restoration since 1644.
