Bokor
Bokor National Park in Cambodia looks beautiful, and the old abandoned buildings are like the star attraction for me. They're so old and abandoned! Seriously they look really neat in the middle of all that Cambodia
Bako National Park
National park in East Malaysia near Kuching. Neat looking rocks and possibly some jungle boardwalks and monkeys monkeying around

New Echota
In Georgia. Early capital of the Cherokee Nation, before the Trail of Tears. Some historic buildings including Samuel Worcester's and Elias Boudinot's homes, the Phoenix press building, and government buildings, are here.
Tahlequah
In Oklahoma; also Park Hill nearby. Capital of the western band of Cherokee I think. Samuel Worcester's grave is here as well as the Cherokee National Museum or something. This place probably has a lot of stories, being one of the main Cherokee sites after the Trail of Tears happened.

A huge ring thing in Fushun, China, apparently. Kinda looks similar to the Gateway Arch. One of those odd-looking Chinese construction projects or something maybe.

Old River Control Complex
So apparently if this thing goes, the Mississippi River will change course and this would likely cause enormous short-term economic damage and stuff. No more Mississippi River in New Orleans. Wow. Randall Munroe has found some really interesting stuff.

Presidio Modelo
Cool looking abandoned former prison on Juventud Island in Cuba. Apparently it was based on a prison in Illinois where they had a guard in the middle and all the prisoners circularly surrounding the center so the prisoners wouldn't know if they were being observed or something. Weird, possibly controversial, possibly tragic, but today it's a historic site that has an interesting setting.
