Located about 20 km west of Paris, France, the Palace of Versailles is world famous for its massive and splendid design. King Louis XIII chose architect Louis Le Vau, decorator Charles Lebrun and landscape designer André Le Nôtre to be in charge of building the palace. To complete the work, King Louis XIII mobilized 36,000 workers to work. 6,000 horses were used to transport construction materials from all over France to the construction site of the Palace of Versailles. The finest and most unique materials were used to construct the Palace of Versailles. In 1682, the lavish, splendid palace of Versailles was completed. Construction costs were at least 100,000,000 livre (the currency in circulation in France at that time). According to calculations by experts, this amount converted at the current exchange rate is about 200-300 billion USD. With such a large amount of money, the Palace of Versailles overwhelmed many people with 2,300 rooms, 2,513 windows, 67 stairs and 483 mirrors. In particular, the mirror hall (also known as the “Grand Gallery”) is one of the most famous rooms in the Palace of Versailles when there are 17 giant mirror arches. Each mirror arch is assembled from 21 mirrors. In the grounds of the Palace of Versailles, there are 55 lakes and 600 fountains. Inside the Palace of Versailles there are about 6,000 paintings placed in more than 2,000 rooms.

Located in New York, America’s famous Wall Street bull is a popular destination that millions of tourists visit each year. When coming here, many tourists pose and take pictures with the giant bronze bull located on Wall Street. This bronze bull is a symbol of Wall Street created by Italian-American painter and sculptor Arturo Di Modica. Mr. Modica left Italy for New York, USA to live in the 1970s. Here, he made a living by opening a sculpture studio on Grand Street (now in the SoHo area of ​​Manhattan). After seeing the US stock market crash in 1987, Mr. Modica came up with the idea of ​​creating a bronze bull to inspire people to get through tough times together. At the same time, through the bronze cow statue, Mr. Modica wants to praise the perseverance and patience of American businessmen. Mr. Modica chose the image of a bull to sculpt because it symbolizes a prosperous and strong market. Therefore, Mr. Modica spent 360,000 USD to mold and shape the bronze cow. After 2 years of hard work, he finished the bronze bull in October 1989. The copper bull that Mr. Modica created is “huge” in size when it is about 3.3m tall and weighs up to 35 tons. To surprise everyone, Mr. Modica and 3 friends used a truck to take the bull to Wall Street at midnight on December 15, 1989. They put it next to the Christmas tree in front of the New York Stock Exchange. The next morning, people were amazed and delighted to see the bronze bull in the middle of Wall Street. However, employees of the New York Stock Exchange were not very pleased with this special gift. So, the New York Stock Exchange contacted the police to have them take the bronze cow to another location on December 16. After learning that the bronze cow had been moved, many residents expressed their regret and petitioned the authorities to bring the cow back to the city center. Listening to the opinions of the people, the New York Department of Parks and Recreation decided to place Mr. Modica’s bronze bull on Broadway, north of Bowling Green and below the intersection on Morris Street. This location is about 2 blocks from the New York Stock Exchange. Since then, the bronze bull on Wall Street has become a famous symbol that many tourists come to when visiting New York.

With a length of 69 km, the North Yungas road connecting La Paz to Coroico in Bolivia is also known as the Grove road. However, many people know this place with the world-famous “death road” nickname. North Yungas “death road” was built in the 1930s. Whenever moving through this road, drivers always have to “stress their brains”, be very careful because the road is quite zigzag, with many dangerous turns. On one side of North Yungas Road is a cliff, a gentle hillside. The other side is a deep, barrierless abyss. In addition, the weather here often has heavy rain, which can cause landslides, slippery road surface, dense fog that obstructs visibility… These things put vehicles traveling through the North Yungas road at risk of accidents. According to one statistic, every year about 200-300 people die on the “road of death” North Yungas. Therefore, to ensure safety, drivers are recommended to move at a moderate speed to be able to handle unexpected situations. Although the North Yungas road is extremely dangerous, some adventurous cyclists come here for an exciting experience. To limit and prevent accidents on North Yungas Road, Bolivian authorities built a new route from La Paz to Coroico. Thanks to the new road, the number of accidents on North Yungas Road has decreased significantly. Invite readers to watch the video: Fall in love with the red maple leaf road in Hanoi. Source: THDT1.
