The Great Wall of China stretches across mountains, deserts, and grasslands, forming one of the most striking man-made landmarks in the world. Rather than a single continuous wall, it is a network of sections built with stone, brick, and packed earth, each shaped by the landscape it crosses. In areas near Beijing, such as Mutianyu, the wall winds along forested ridges, offering sweeping views that change with the seasons.

Albi is a city on the River Tarn in southwestern France, known for its distinctive red-brick architecture and compact historic centre.

The city is often called “Albi la rouge” because of the warm tones of its brick buildings.
Situated in the Parque Nacional Iguazú near Puerto Iguazú, these spectacular falls lie just east of the confluence of the Iguazu and Paraná rivers. At least 5000 cubic m of water per second plunge the 70m into the abyss below. If they look familiar, it's because they were the supporting actors in the film The Mission; appropriately, the area has historic ruins of Jesuit missions which also draw many visitors. San Ignacio Miní, built in a style of architecture known as 'Guaraní
baroque', is especially popular. Above the falls, the waters are suitable for canoeing, kayaking and other water sports. The surrounding park is home to 55,000 hectares of pristine subtropical rainforest, with abundant wildlife and plant species.
