Overland Track
This is one of my crazier ones, like the Trans-Siberian Railroad (How was I supposed to mark that on the world map?). It's described as a 65 kilometer(re), six-day walk in Tasmania. But the views along the way, especially those of Cradle Mountain and Dove Lake, seem to lead to the conclusion that this walk could be worth it.
Hong Kong
The view of Hong Kong from Victoria Peak or another similarly great view of all the skyscrapers could be a great sight. There are also plenty of things to do and see there, I assume.
Bagan
Bagan looks like either a city or a former city or just a collection of old colorful temples. It looks neat in the jungle-ish setting.
Luxor Temple
If I could handle whatever this thing is, it might be interesting to visit. Looks fake, but I guess it ain't if it's so famous.
Anse Source d'Argent
This location on La Digue in the Seychelles islands seems to be a rocky coast beach, but much different from other rock coasts I know of. The sculpture-like features of this area look very impressive.
Monument Valley
The United States's Monument Valley of huge rock formations in its southwestern area is quite an iconic place. Strangely, I haven't seen it yet.
Ngorongoro Crater
I learned aboutt his place from the Amazing Race, I think. It looks quite lovely, still, though there are likely plenty of other tourists. Which isn't always a bad thing.
Viaduc de Millau
This is the world's tallest bridge, I think. It looks very impressive.
Waimea Canyon
Found another canyon in Hawaii. Looks colorful and very pretty.
Taroko Gorge
Just found out about this place, which looks like Taiwan's metaphorical answer to other great canyons and gorges of the world.
White Cliffs of Dover
Why not see what all the hype is about.

Red Square
Moscow's Red Square is probably the most famous touristy place in Russia. Not sure if its significance, but those funny-shaped buildings do look neat.
Kursiu Nerija
Kursiu Nerija, or the Curonian something-or-other, I think is an area of beaches or something. It looks kinda pretty.

Trollstigen
The area of Trollstigen, Norway, looks quite spectacular. I found this mountain road that appears quite popular due to its beautiful views.
Buck's Pocket
In Alabama, there is a location called Buck's Pocket with nice views of a forested valley.

Taupo
The Taupo area on New Zealand's North Island contains a bunch of interesting things. There's Huka Falls, a place where waters does... something. It appears kinda pretty.
There's also a place called "Craters of the Moon", which appears to be a thermally active location. Yellowstone kinda creeped me out, but I'm curious if it's any different in New Zealand.
And there's some place called the Aratiatia Rapids, which apparently are dry for a while then occasionally filled with river due to a dam being opened and closed.

Pucón
Pucón is a city in Chile that has great natural surroundings, including the huge volcanic snowcapped mountain Villaricca. There's also a neat little peninsula right by the town; I wonder if it's worth checking out.
Los Arrayanes
Los Arrayanes National Park contains a forest of arrayanes trees, whose color and shape appears to become quite pretty in such quantity and concentration.
Lanín
Lanín National Park appears to be just north of Nahuel Huapi, with its own spectacular mountain views of Lanín Volcano.
Los Gigantes
"Los Gigantes" are some rock formations in some big lake on the border of the provinces Neuquén and Rio Negro in Argentina. They look large, prominent, and cool.

Mount Roraima
Mount Roraima is one of those things that I think are called tepuis. This one is particularly famous, and might provide an opportunity to visit the international tripoint of Brazil, Guyana, and Venezuela. The natural scenery, of course, would be the star of this visit, I think. Checking out the top of it might be a neat walk.
Iguaçu Falls
The Iguaçu Falls are some of the most famous waterfalls on the planet. Massive amounts of waterfall go through here in a spectacular and visually winning manner.
Taipei 101
It is Taiwan's tallest, and, likely, most recognizable, building.
Angel Falls
Angel Falls is, I think, the world's tallest waterfall. It's in a beautiful jungle setting in Venezuela.
Atomium
The Atomium in Brussels has a lot of hype about it, it seems. But it does look kinda cool, so why not. Also, there's a place close to it called Mini-Europe. It probably costs something, but it's possibility if I'm around that location.

Mehrangarh Fort
Mehrangarh Fort is located on a mountain or hill that overlooks the city of Jodhpur, India. It looks quite large from certain viewpoints nearby, like from another place called Jaswant Thada. The Mehrangarh Fort likewise has pretty good views of the city from its location.
Jaisalmer
Jaisalmer is a city located in Rajasthan, India. I assume it's a city, at least; with India's population, it doesn't seem that there would be very many "towns" or "villages". Anyway, there are two places in particular that look visit-worthy in Jaisalmer. First, there is a location on a narrow street called Patwon Ki Haveli, a tall building with many balconies. The intricate designs there remind me of Petra, but the town here looks much more alive than a tourist spot in a Jordanian canyon. Second, there is a fort/castle thing on a hill, I think.

Luxembourg
The city of Luxembourg looks like a nice place to explore. There are various bridges/aqueducts in the city that look neat, as well as some international significance.
Hill of Crosses
In northern Lithuania, there's a place called the Hill of Crosses that is basically just that. I'm not of its meaning or purpose, but it looks very interesting.
Ubari
The Ubari Sand Sea and the Ubari Lakes in the Sahara Desert of Libya feature some remarkable natural beauty. The beauty of the sand and the amazing oases make a seemingly rare sight. One of these lakes is called Umm-al-Maa, and has a lovely coast with vegetation among all the barren dunes.
Maletsunyane Falls
I'm assuming it's in a place called Sehlabathebe National Park, which itself looks like a neat destination. Maletsunyane Falls pours into a magnificent gorge, covered in green and brown complimenting each other, with rolling hills on top. It looks lovely, and ponies can be provided too!
