以下是旅游景点的信息：
A. Agra Fort
Near the gardens of the Taj Mahal stands
the important 16th-century Mughal monument known as the Red Fort of Agra. This
powerful fortress of red sandstone encompasses, within its 2.5-km-long
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 Diwan-i-Khas; 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 twenty-two years, employing twenty thousand
workers. It was completed in 1648 C.E. at a cost of 32 Million Rupees.
C. Keoladeo National Park
This former duck-hunting 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.
This tomb, built in 1570, is of
particular cultural significance as it was the first garden-tomb on the Indian
subcontinent. It inspired several major architectural innovations, culminating
in the construction of the Taj Mahal. The gardens also contain the
red-and-white sandstone and black-and-yellow 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. Schmidt explores
the shape of the land, its plants and animals, and its human history. A
fascinating book that everyone visiting the Grand Canyon should read. The
Skywalk at Grand Canyon West is really exciting.
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.
