Cambodia’s Angkor Wat topped this year’s list of world’s top landmarks for the second year in a row.
The measure is aimed at crowd control; the monument can receive up to 50,000 visitors a day during peak season.
AGRA, India — Authorities in India are trying to figure out how workers would scale the Taj Mahal’s majestic but delicate dome as they complete the first thorough cleaning of the World Heritage site since it was built 369 years ago. Rain was enough to clean most of the Taj Mahal in the past but air pollution over the last 25 years had taken its toll.
Other destinations that made the list are the Great Wall of China for air pollution, Missouri (U.S.) for discrimination and Myanmar for human rights violations.
Indian police said Thursday they had filed a case against Miss Universe for conducting an unauthorized footwear fashion shoot at the Taj Mahal which was slammed as an “insult” by the monument’s caretaker.
