Let me tell you about them.The Eiffel Tower was completed in March, 1889. It was more than 300 metres highmaking it the tallest structure in the world until 1930. The tower is completely repainted every seven years. It was once painted yellow!Lying in the Black Hills of South Dakota, Mount Rushmore is a sculpture (雕塑) on the side of a mountain with four of the most famous presidents of the United States of America. The idea for the sculpture was suggested in 1923 as a way to bring visitors to South Dakota. The face of George Washington was finished first in 1930 and Theodore Roosevelt was the last one done in 1939. The heads of the presidents are 18 metres tallthats the height of a six-story building! Today Mount Rushmore is carefully taken care of to prevent breaking.The Great Wall has a long history. The walls were built with different materials, everything from packed dirt or wood to stone and brick. The earliest walls were built more than two thousand years ago. No one knows exactly how long that wall was, as most of it has worn down or been destroyed. In some places the walls were 9 metres thick, and 7.5 metres tall, and there were as many as 25,000 watchtowers for soldiers to watch the situation outside the Great Wall.The Statue of Liberty is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the world. The Statue of Liberty was a gift to America from the French in 1876. The American people agreed to pay for the pedestal (底座) for the statue to stand on, while the French people would pay for the Statue of Liberty itself. The statue was completed in France in 1884, but the pedestal wasnt finished until April of 1886.If you want to know more about them, visit my website.
