February 22nd, 2010 by Amos
A new version of the Seven Wonders of the World has been drawn up, based on over 100 million votes cast from people in 200 countries. New Seven Wonders of the World is a contemporary attempt to create an alternative to the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World list. The worldwide popularity poll was organized by the private, non-profit Swiss-based New Open World Corporation (NOWC). The winners were announced on July 7, and include the Great Wall of China, Machu Picchu in Peru and the Taj Mahal in India. The vote, which was drawn from 21 contenders, attracted some cristicism, including from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), which said last week that the new wonders of the world should not be chosen in a popular vote.

Chinese potted landscapes have been famous for centuries. They are described as “soundless poetry”, “stereoscopic paintings” or “living sculptures”. In a pot no larger than a wash basin, the ingenious craftsmen create a miniature reproduction of a natural scence using stunted trees and plants, rocks and sometimes water.

Have read too much opinions above, I think that whether the Great Wall can be seen from the space is not important, it’s great is not reflected in here, it’s the treasure of human history and civilization, and this is enough! Let us stop arguing this silly questions
forever.
