Incredible landmarks around the world
Hey, everyone! Now I’m totally dreaming of visiting some landmarks around the world. Do you have any must-see ones that I should add to my wish list?

Hi, there! I’ve got one for you! If you love peaceful views, the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon at the West Lake, first built in the Song dynasty, is an absolute must-see. The three little pagodas in the water are only about two metres tall, arranged in a perfect triangle. But at night — magic happens! When the lights inside are turned on, their reflections on the lake look like little moons. It feels like stepping right into a fairy tale!

That’s cool. Okay, my turn. Have you heard of Burj Al Arab in Dubai? It’s a famous hotel built in the shape of a giant sail. It stands on its own little man-made island and is one of the tallest hotels in the world. Some say it’s the only so-called “seven-star” hotel on the planet. If you want to see something truly modern and wonderful, this is the place to be!

Have you heard of the Drina River House in Serbia? It’s probably the most creative building I’ve ever seen. Picture this: a tiny wooden house standing alone on a rock in the middle of a river! Some swimmers built it back in 1968, so that they could have a place to rest. If you love unique places, this one’s for you!

Great recommendations, everyone! I’d like to add something more modern — Beijing Daxing International Airport. I know, an airport might sound boring, but trust me, this one is a show-stopper! It’s shaped like a giant starfish and is one of the biggest airport terminals in the world. The design lets in natural light, making passengers feel comfortable. It’s not just an airport — it’s a masterpiece of modern design!
