Oval in shape, it measures 189mlong, 156m wide and 50m high (about the height of a 12 storey building). There are 80 arched entrances allowing easy access to 55,000 spectators, who came to watch animal fights and gladiatorial combats and were seated according to rank. Below the Colosseum were numerous rooms and underground passages. Here is where the animals and gladiators were kept, waiting to meet their fate. Although two-thirds of the Coliseum has been destroyed over time – mostly the result of vandalism, earthquakes and fires – it is still one of the most visited tourist sites in the world. ① Yuan Ming Yuan was constructed throughout the 18th and 19th centuries and was where the emperor and other royals of Qing Dynasty handled state affairs.

These figures offer a glimpse into China’s ancient artistic practices, culture and many other aspects. For centuries, Qin Shi Huang’s massive mausoleum remained undetected. However, in 1974, workers stumbled upon a large sculpture of a terracotta warrior while digging a well. Driven by this surprising find, archaeologists began to explore the area, resulting in the discovery of thousands of similar soldiers in four pits. Designed with a breathtaking level of detail, the life-sized sculptures vary in height according to military ranking, with their uniforms, hairstyles, and even facial shapes and expressions different accordingly. ③ Taj Mahal is widely considered as the most beautiful building in the world. It was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan as a memorial for his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Constructed entirely out of white marble and decorated with various jewelry in the 17th century, it is among the finest building of Mughal architecture. Recognised by the UNESCO as a world heritage site, this monument of love is also considered to be one of the seven wonders of the modern world.
