What Do You Think of the Travel Channel's Seven Wonders of China?

Question

I don't usually watch the Travel Channel, but I saw an episode of the Seven Wonders of China today and thought I'd see what people thought of the list.

Their seven wonders are:

1. Leshan Buddha

2. Hanging Monastery

3. Forbidden City

4. The Great Wall

5. Mount Wudang

6. Terracotta Warriors

7. Shibaozhai Temple

What do you think? Any that you'd switch with a different "wonder"?

Answer 1

Yao Ming should be the 8th wonder of China... Go Yao!

Answer 2

awesome... I've seen the Leshan Buddha, Terracotta Warriors, Shibaozhai Temple, Forbidden City and the Great Wall

Answer 3

The list will probably get some argument.  But if a first-timer was making an itinerary of things to see, TC's list would be good for starters.

I have been to 3, 4, and 6.

Answer 4

I agree with 5 out of 7.  

I think the Gretto in Duhuang should be there.  Along with Summer Palace and Temple of Heaven.

Instead of Shibazhai Temple, Mt. Wudang and Hanging Monastery.

I think wonders should be something magnificent, special and unique.
