Lying on the south eastern side of the Ahmedabad city, the lake also has a fascinating island summer palace.<br />
Kankaria Lake was built by Sultan Kutubuddin in 15th century. The work was completed in 1451 CE and was known as "Qutub Hojj" or "Hauj-e-Kutub" .It was used for bathing by the kings.

<b>The Giant Buddha of Leshan </b>known as Dafo or the Great Buddha statue in Leshan, China, is a massive sculpture of a sitting Buddha which was carved into Mount Lingyun from 713.The Giant Buddha of Leshan is the tallest stone Buddha statue in the world, carved out of a cliff face by an 8th-century monk in southern Szechuan province. The Giant Buddha overlooks the confluence of the Minjiang, Dadu and Qingyi rivers and faces the sacred Mount Emei History Since then, many Buddhist temples and structures were built around the Giant Buddha of Leshan, transforming the area into one of China’s most important centres of Buddhism.In 1996, the Giant Buddha of Leshan became a UNESCO World Heritage site together with the Mount Emei Scenic Area.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Construction was started in 713, led by a Chinese monk named Haitong. He hoped that the Buddha would calm the turbulent waters that plagued the shipping vessels traveling down the river. When funding for the project was threatened, he is said to have gouged out his own eyes to show his piety and sincerity. After his death, however, the construction was stuck due to insufficient funding. About 70 years later, a jiedushi decided to sponsor the project and the construction was completed by Haitong's disciples in 803.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Standing 71 meters (233 feet) tall, Dafo is the tallest Buddha statue in the world. His shoulders are 28 meters (92 feet) wide and his smallest toenail can accommodate a seated person. Each eyebrow is 18 feet long. According to a local saying, "The mountain is a Buddha and the Buddha is a mountain.Several drainage passages hidden in the Buddha's hair, collar, chest, and holes in the back of his ears preventing the Buddha from serious erosion and weathering. He has been lovingly maintained on a regular basis throughout his 1,200-year history, but is still a bit mossy.Visitors stare in awe at the Buddha from the tourist ferries and from a terrace next to his ear. On one side of the terrace is a modern statue of the monk Haitong, and behind is the Lingyun Temple Museum with exhibits on the construction and renovations of Dafo.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The island of Santorini Greece</b> is one of the most Beautiful islands in the world.it located in the Cyclades islands, middle of the Greek Islands of the Aegean Sea.Santorini has a famous volcanic past, which has very much shaped the island that you see today, creating a surreal and rather unique landscape in places. The water-filled 'caldera' crater remains a familiar sight to all those who visit Santorini and is surrounded by a wall of colourful cliffs, which are often cram-packed with charming houses.Santorini is one of the most famous islands in the world.Fira is the island capital and stands next to the caldera itself. Whilst Fira does not actually offers its own EOT (Greek National Tourist Information Organisation), it does contain a number of helpful travel agents, which are usually only too happy to impart their tourism knowledge.</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Santorini is famous for its spectacular sunsets. The village of Oia on the northern tip of the island is a hugely popular sunset viewing site because there is an uninterrupted view of the sun as it finally sinks below the horizon. From farther south down the caldera edge, the last of the setting sun can be obscured by the islands of Nea Kameni and Thirasia. Take your pick, however. You can enjoy most of the sunset from almost anywhere along the rim of the caldera, especially if you want to avoid the sometimes feverish crush at Oia.The island of Santorini is related to the myth of Atlantis, the amazing views from the villages of Fira, Oia perched on cliffs, santorinian sunset, the black and red beaches, the wine...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
which measures about 12 by 7 km is surrounded by 300 m high, steep cliffs on three sides. The main island slopes downward to the Aegean Sea. On the fourth side, the lagoon is separated from the sea by another much smaller island called Therasia; the lagoon is connected to the sea in two places, in the northwest and southwest. The caldera being 400m deep makes it possible for all but the largest ships to anchor anywhere in the protected bay; there is also a newly built marina in Vlychada on the southwestern coast. The region first became volcanically active around 3–4 million years ago, though volcanism on Thera began around 2 million years ago with the extrusion of dacitic lavas from vents around the Akrotiri.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>St. Basil’s Cathedral</b> in Moscow, Russia was built by Ivan the Terrible between 1555 and 1561.which occured on the Feast of the Intercession of the Virgin. The cathedral was thus officially named Cathedral of the Intercession of the Virgin by the Moat According to legends, the builder of this Cathedral was blinded so that such a beautiful structure could neverbe built again. The Cathedral is vividly colorful and contains redbrick towers that add to its beauty. The church’s design consists of nine chapels, each mounted with its individual dome that marks the assault on the city of Kazan.St. Basil's marks the geometric center of Moscow. It has been the hub of the city's growth since the 14th century and was the city's tallest building until the completion of the Ivan the Great Bell Tower in 1600. The popular alternative refers to Basil the Blessed, a Muscovite 'holy fool' who was buried on the site (in the Trinity Cathedral that once stood here) a few years before the present building was erected.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a>The Cathedral was ordered by Ivan the Terrible to mark the 1552 capture of Kazan from Mongol forces. It was completed in 1560. That's pretty much all the genuine history that's known about this celebrated landmark. There, however, scores of legends. Nothing is known about the builders, Barma and Postnik Yakovlev, except their names and the dubious legend that Ivan had them blinded so that they could not create anything to compare. Historians unanimously state that this is nothing but urban folklore.<br />

He spectacular St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow was commissioned by Ivan the Terrible in the 16th century to commemorate a military victory. It is easily the most famous sight on Red Square.History he Cathedral of the Intercession a.k.a. St. Basil's Cathedral was constructed from 1555 to 1560. Legend has it that after it was completed, Ivan had the architect blinded in order to prevent him from building a more magnificent building for anyone else. (In fact, he went on to build another cathedral in Vladimir.)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The original building, known as "Trinity Church" and later "Trinity Cathedral", contained eight side churches arranged around the ninth, central church of Intercession; the tenth church was erected in 1588 over the grave of venerated local saint Vasily (Basil). In the 16th and 17th centuries the church, perceived as the earthly symbol of the Heavenly City,[8] as happens to all churches in Byzantine Christianity, was popularly known as the "Jerusalem" and served as an allegory of the Jerusalem Temple in the annual Palm Sunday parade attended by the Patriarch of Moscow and the tsar.</div>

<b>The Fairy Pools Skye</b> is the largest of the Inner Hebrides lying of the west coast of Scotland The Fairy Pools are a series of clear, cold pools and waterfalls formed as Allt Coir' a' Mhadaidh tumbles down from the foothills of the Black Cuillins into Glen Brittle. Park at the Forestry car park and follow the signposted path opposite the parking area. To reach the pools take the right fork on the path after a hundred yards or so, and follow the trail for about 10 minutes to where the ground rises in a small plateau.The location of the Pools beneath the looming bulk of the Cuillins is wonderful, and the drama of the waterfalls and the sinuous beauty of the rock formations carved by the falling water give the Fairy Pools a magical feel.The Isle of Skye is a gem of an island, lying off the west coast of Scotland, with beautiful mountain scenery, interesting geology, stunning sea lochs and plenty of wildlife.

Unlike other "dead malls",This mall has seven zones modeled on international cities, nations and regions, including Amsterdam, Paris, Rome, Venice, Egypt, the Caribbean, and California. Although the mall opened in 2005, it suffers from a lack of retailers. Much of the retail space remains empty, with 99.2 percent of the stores vacant.

The mall is scheduled to close in July 2008.the New South China Mall, which opened in 2005, stands empty with 99 per cent of its shops having remained unleased and attractions including a 553-metre indoor and outdoor roller coaster standing idle.</div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>San Alfonso del Mar</b> is a resort located in Algarrobo, Chile featuring a 1,000m long, 19-acre outdoor pool, 250 million liters of water which holds a Guinness world record as the largest in the world.Apart from its large size, the lagoon has another spectacular feature: its waters have the transparency and intense turquoise color of tropical seas. This has been made possible thanks to an advanced technology* developed by the company Crystal Lagoons, which is able to collect ocean water and keep it in perfect condition. But this is not all that it is there: during summer, the lagoon further maintains a pleasant temperature that borders 26ºC, nine degrees more than the nearby sea temperature. The success and exclusivity of this technology has enabled Crystal Lagoons to export its know-how to major international real-estate projects. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />The most emblematic building work at San Alfonso holds the current Guinness record as the world’s largest crystalline water pool, with an extension of more than one kilometer in length, eight hectares and 250 million liters of water. Hard to imagine? We are talking about nothing less than the equivalent to 6,000 familiar 8-meters-long pools. </span></div>

It stands on the bank of river Yamuna. The whole structure is made of Red stone. The fort was built by Shahjahan - the Mughal King who also built the famous Taj Mahal - in 1648. Shahjahan called it the Uru-Muhalla. Shahjahan shifted his capital from Agra to Delhi and Red Fort was the new capital. Lal Quila stands at the eastern side of Shahjahanabad and the very name of "Lal Quila" comes from the huge wall that encloses the whole structure. The wall is 2.5 km long and the height varies from 16 meters on the river side to 33 meters towards the city.One of the special attraction of the fort is the huge wall that encompasses the whole structure. The walls have two entrances, one at the delhi gate and the other at the Lahore gate. Lahore Gate is the main entrance point of the fort, leading to Chatta Chowk. It is a coveres bazaar street where merchnats sold their goods to the nobles of the court. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Burney Falls</b> is one of the largest waterfalls in California by sheer scale, but more prominently it is one of the most unique waterfalls in the whole state - if not the most unique. Burney Creek drains from volcanic highlands northwest of Mount Lassen, much of it featuring porous bedrock where precipitation can easily sink into the ground. While plenty of water remains in surface-level Burney Creek, a significant aquafir exists beneath the surface. Shortly before merging with the Pit River in Lake Britton, Burney Creek hurtles 114 feet over a cliff in twin channels, thundering into a large pool. The water comes from underground springs above and at the falls, which are 129 feet high, and provides an almost constant flow rate of 100 million US gallons per day , even during the dry summer months.The falls are an example of river drainage regulated by stratigraphically-controlled springs, and also of a waterfall formed by undercutting of horizontal strata.The falls were called "the Eighth Wonder of the World" by President Theodore Roosevelt, and were declared a National Natural Landmark in December 1984.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The official height of Burney Falls is listed at 129 ft. high. However, I question that height. My measurement of the waterfall was only 99 ft. high, and I do not think I was too far off in my readings. Once again, I wonder who measured the waterfalls height and how?,We should also note that virtually ever source of information, including the California State Parks system, cites Burney Falls as dropping 129 feet. When we surveyed the falls in July 2009, we measured it to be 114 feet tall. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Niagara Falls</b> is the collective name for three waterfalls that straddle the the international border between the Canadian province of Ontario and the U.S. state of New York.Located on the Niagara River which drains Lake Erie into Lake Ontario, the combined falls form the highest flow rate of any waterfall in the world, with a vertical drop of more than 165 feet .Your Journey Behind the Falls visit will take 30 to 45 minutes. In the spring and summer months, you'll receive a free souvenir biodegradable rain poncho as protection from the mist of the Falls. Elevators descend 150 feet through bedrock to tunnels that lead and to the Cataract Portal and the Great Falls Portal which is one third of the way behind the massive sheet of water. Then you walk on to the Upper and Lower Observation Decks at the very foot of the Falls.</span></div>

As part of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, the terrain is carved by the mountains into many canyons, rapids and waterfalls. It lies 45 km from Anshun, about half an hours drive. The Huangguoshu Waterfall is 20 meters wide, sometimes as wide as 30-40 meters in the summer rainy season.<br /><br />There are mainly three National Parks in the Huangguoshu National Park: Waterfalls Cluster, Water-Curtain Cave and Rhinoceros Pool,Other waterfalls like LuosiTan Waterfall, Silver-Chain Waterfall and Dishuitan Waterfall all have their distinct features.</span></div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: small;"><br />Huangguoshu Waterfalls Cluster: Huangguoshu is the best known of some 18 in a cluster of waterfalls. Its flow is seasonally adjusted. A reservoir behind the waterfall holds back some of the water. Doupotang Waterfall, one kilometer up the river to Huangguoshu Waterfall, at 105 meters 344 feet across is the widest. It is 21 meters 69 feet high. Other waterfalls like LuosiTan Waterfall, Silver-Chain Waterfall and Dishuitan Waterfall all have their distinct features.Water-Curtain Cave: The Water-Curtain Cave dissects Huangguoshu and provides visitors view ports on the waterfall. The total length of the cave is 134 meters , including windows and halls. A road on the mountainside leads into the Water-Curtain Cave, where the waterfall can be heard, watched and touched.

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>The Petronas Towers</b> were the tallest buildings in the world for six years, until Taipei 101 was completed in 2004.The Petronas Towers, also known as the Petronas Twin Towers are twin skyscrapers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The building is the landmark of Kuala Lumpur with nearby Kuala Lumpur Tower.The height of the towers is measured to the top of their structural components such as spires.The Twin Towers, built to house the headquarters of Petronas, the national petroleum company of Malaysia, were designed by the Argentine-born American architect Cesar Pelli; they were completed in 1998. The plan for each tower is identical: an eight-lobed circular structure that contains 88 stories of occupiable space and a pyramid-shaped pinnacle surmounted by a slender steel spire. Both rise to a height of 1,483 feet , which includes 242 feet (73.6 metres) for pinnacle and spire. Each building is supported by 16 large columns around its perimeter, which, along with the rest of the frame, are made of high-strength, steel-reinforced concrete rather than of structural steel; the exterior sheathing consists of stainless steel and glass. A skybridge two stories tall links the two towers between the 41st and 42nd stories.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Petronas Towers include 88 stories as well as an extra structural factor , plus a high spire to 1483 feet. Compete with the Sears Tower in Chicago which is 110 stories, and the twin World Trade Center towers in New York, which were each 110 stories. Even though these other tall buildings were designed with larger filled floors, they are not regarded as tall within the arcane guidelines used for ranking the world's tallest, based on which design spires rely towards building height, but antennas upon a building do not.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>The main island of Singapore</b> is just 263 square miles, making it one of the smallest countries in the world. But this little country is attempting to become a big player in global tourism in the world nearly double the number of visitors by 2015. workers have now reached the final and most difficult stage of construction. If they don't finish by opening date in March, delays will cost up to $100 million a month.The main part of that park is the Marina Bay Sands Resort. It's the largest construction project in this country's history and the most expensive building on the planet,nearest $5.5 billion.<br /><br /><u><b>World's Largest Public Park</b></u><br />Singapore is known as the Garden City, so the crowning element atop the entire project will be the world's largest and highest floating park, the Sands SkyPark. This one of a kind public space will be perched atop the hotel's three 55-story towers. Once finished, the SkyPark will be longer than the Eiffel Tower, making it </span></div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: small;">the largest cantilevered public space in the world. To hoist the 7,000 ton structure over 600 feet up, engineers will attempt to lift 14 segments with a bridge-building technology in what will be the highest strand-jacking operation ever.<br /><br /><u><b>World's First Transformable Amphitheater</b></u><br />The resort will literally spill into Singapore's Marina Bay with a 10,000- person event plaza built right in the water. What makes this outdoor amphitheater so unique is its ability to transform itself for different events. The seating platforms will stand on motorized screw jacks, so they can be lowered to face the marina for water shows, or raised to face the resort for land events.<br /><br /><u><b>Biggest Casino Atrium with the World's Largest Chandelier</b></u><br />A key part of Singapore's plan to increase tourism is the Marina Bay Sands Casino, the country's first legalized gambling venue. Covering 160,000 square feet over four floors, it will be the largest casino atrium in the world. installing the world's largest chandelier in this massive atrium is precise work because the ceiling structure is still settling in unpredictable ways. Each section of the 7-ton chandelier must be 3D scanned to make sure it fits perfectly into its unique location.<br /><br /><b><u>Singapore's Iconic Museum</u></b><br />The Art-Science Museum will be Singapore's version of the Sydney Opera House. The iconic structure will resemble a welcoming hand on the edge of the waterfront, with galleries housed in suspended 40 foot long steel fingers that will hang from the museum's central core. The core will also capture rainwater, and channel it into an indoor waterfall through the atrium below. Each massive segment is unique, so building this structure is like assembling a giant jigsaw puzzle, one piece at a time.</span><br />
