以下是旅游景点的信息：
     A. Agra Fort
     Near the gardens of the Taj Mahal stands the important 16thcentury Mughal monument known as
the Red Fort of Agra. This powerful fortress of red sandstone encompasses, within its 2.5 kmlong
enclosure walls, the imperial city of the Mughal rulers. It comprises many fairy tale palaces, such as the
Jahangir Palace and the Khas Mahal, built by Shah Jahan; audience halls, such as the DiwaniKhas; and
two very beautiful mosques.
     B. Taj Mahal
     Taj Mahal is regarded as one of the eight wonders of the world, and some western historians have
noted that its architectural beauty has never been surpassed. The Taj is the most beautiful monument
built by the Mughals, the Muslim rulers of India. Taj Mahal is built entirely of white marble. It was
constructed over a period of twentytwo years, employing twenty thousand workers. It was completed
in 1648 CE at a cost of 32 million Rupees.
     C. Keoladeo National Park
     This former duckhunting reserve of the Maharajas is one of the major wintering areas for large
numbers of aquatic birds from Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, China and Siberia. Some 364 species of
birds, including the rare Siberian crane, have been recorded in the park.
     D. Humayun's Tomb, Delhi
     This tomb, built in 1570, is of particular cultural significance as it was the first gardentomb on the
Indian subcontinent. It inspired several major architectural innovations, culminating in the construction
of the Taj Mahal. The gardens also contain the redandwhite sandstone and blackandyellow marble tomb
of Humayun's wife and the tomb of Humayun's barber.
     E. Grand Canyon National Park
     The Grand Canyon is perhaps the most awesome sight in the United States-and one of the wonders
of the world. Much of the park's beauty is related to its geology and ecology. The Skywalk at Grand
Canyon West is really exciting.
     F. Sundarbans National Park
     The Sundarbans covers 10,000 sq. km of land and water (more than half of it in India, the rest in
Bangladesh) in the Ganges delta. It contains the world's largest area of mangrove forests. A number of
rare or endangered species live in the park, including tigers, aquatic mammals, birds and reptiles.

she wants to take some photos of birds from all over the world, especially the rare Siberian crane. In
the meanwhile, she doesn't want to spend too much money.
2. Daisy's major is biology. She is interested in studies of tigers in India. Before graduation, she needs

4. Sammy majors in history. He will visit it again this summer. He says it's built entirely of white Marble
and is one of the eight wonders of the world. Its beauty is beyond description, particularly at dawn and
sunset. It seems to glow in the light of the full moon. On a foggy morning, the visitors experience it as if
suspended when viewed from across the Jamuna River.
5. Nancy comes from the history department. Last summer she visited the ancient markets of Agra and
this year she wants to visit it again. Not long ago she said, “Arriving at the Delhi airport, we
