The only one of the original 7 wonders of the world still standing are the Pyramids in Egypt.
The other 6:
The Tomb of King Mausolus at Halicarnassus
The Lighthouse of Alexandria
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon
The Temple of Artemis (Diana) at Ephesus
The Statue of Zeus at Olympia
and The Colossus of Rhodes
have all been destroyed now, although sections are in various museums around the world.
There is no strict list of modern wonders - every book publishes a different one...
But I think the one I would choose would be the Taj Mahal in Agra, India - it is by far the most beautiful building I have ever seen in my life. Any list of modern wonders that does not include it has been composed by an idiot.

I have visited the grand canyon....it is the most magnificent place I have ever seen. It is hard to imagine how many millions of drops of water and how many millions of years it took to carve it out. I always think about the Indians who sat there peacefully before we showed up and brought out caos......if you haven't seen it and you live in America.....you must make this a must see in your life time.

I would like to visit the great Pyramids of Egypt, once everything settles down in the mid-east of course.

My wife and I go to Niagara Falls every couple of years. We actually got married there. I think it is worth going up there for a weekend and seeing the sights. On one hand you have the scenic Falls experience and on the other you have a car naval atmosphere on rainbow hill on the Canadian side.

I've been to Niagara Falls and Mammoth Cave. I'm not sure if Mammoth Cave is a wonder of the world.
