In Wonders of the World today, we’re talking about four wonders: two natural wonders and two man-made wonders. The two natural wonders are the Giant’s Causeway and Victoria Falls. The two man-made wonders are the Terracotta Army and the Three Gorges Dam.
The Terracotta Army was built in the Qin Dynasty, so it’s ancient. It’s said to be Qinshihang’s personal army. The Three Gorges Dam is a modern wonder. So far, it’s the largest dam in the world. Please call and tell us what you think.
