Man-made landmarks

[Foreigner]

Have been to Giza pyramids and seen, from a distance, Statue of Liberty. Yet to see Christ the Redeemer, Eiffel Tower, Taj Mahal, China's Great wall. Have i left out other icons?

 

[TomVexille]

The Taj Mahal is absolutely stunning and worth seeing IMO

 

[get me outta here]

Many many wonderful places in Turkey.

Machu Picchu - perhaps a little more than a landmark but then so are the pyramids IMO. An amazing piece of construction.
The three-gorges dam on the Yangtze is also an interesting piece of work (and you have the Great Wall on the list).

I liked Le Mont St Michel in France, and in Europe many many great churches and other buildings there, there's a long list including the almost two millenium old Castel De Angelo in Rome

Depends what you consider a 'landmark'.
I'd argue that you add Petra to the list, and even the Hoover Dam. Both are amazing considering the tools that they had to work with.

the thousands of stupors / temples Bagan Burma - spectacular from a hot air balloon !

I've been to Angkor Wat in Cambodia, would definitely be on the list.

Also, and while it might not be quite as historical per se in that it hasn't been around as long, many would consider the Sydney Opera House as a man-made landmark.

Any number of castles/fortifications... from Europe to Turkey to Sri Lanka to..... well...all over...

(I like pre artillery forts lol)

View attachment 66695 the thousands of stupors / temples Bagan Burma - spectacular from a hot air balloon !

Apparently they are banning the climbing of the Temples in Bagan, so soon the hot air balloons will be the only way to view anything other than from ground level.

Tourists banned from climbing Burma’s Bagan pagodas following “disgraceful†behaviour

Mt Rushmore and Crazy Horse (still under construction) mountain carvings.

I have not been there but if going to SA for Machu Pinchu why not also go and see them.

The Nazca Lines are great - Macchu Picchu is magnificent, as are many of the Mayan ruins (Uxmal in Mexico was my favourite).

The White Tower of Thessaloniki.
