Khami Ruins

Big ruins in Zimbabwe.

Bandiagara Escarpment

A beautiful cliffs area in Mali which is actually quite long (over 100 miles) which along with being beautiful also has some interesting history and architecture of the Dogon people. Looks quite unique and picturesque.

Osaka

This city has the Umeda Sky Building and Osaka Castle, which both look pretty cool.

Kinkaku-ji

The Golden Pavilion, aka Kinkaku-ji, is a famous Kyoto landmark.

Adrspach-Teplice Rocks

Area with cool huge rock towers. (learned from "theguardian")

Tupiza

City in Bolivia with neat red rocks to explore.

Fuerte de Samaipata

Old archaeological site in Bolivia with impressive architecture and great views.

Mount Kailash

Just to view, probably, not to climb. Famous mountain in Xizang. Seems to be fairly popular among certain religious groups. The shape of the mountain looks pretty. (I'm getting a lot of these from BBC Travel today.)

Ranakpur Temple

A Jainist temple in Rajasthan. The architecture looks pretty impressive.

Jericoacoara

Sandy coastal place in CearĂ¡, Brazil. Looks pretty.

Pittsburgh

Where the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers join to form the Ohio River, there's the city of Pittsburgh. This position at the confluence looks pretty neat with the skyscrapers, bridges, and pretty forested mountain scenery around. There are at least a couple funiculars here (inclined rail car things that go up/down a mountain slope) that go up Mount Washington, from which there are great views of the downtown city. This looks like quite a nice city.

Snow Lake

This thing looks really tough to get to, but beautiful.

K2

Not to climb, but to get a good view of.

Rani Kot Fort

Big fort. Miles big. Maybe it's like Pakistan's version of that Chinese wall thing.

Fairy Meadows

Fairy Meadows looks like a very beautiful meadow area with a great view of a very high snow-covered mountain.

Mohenjo Daro

Ancient archaeological site, I suppose a big thing regarding the Indus civilization. There, got another one in Pakistan.

Aarhus

Aarhus has neat looking stuff. There's the rainbow thing at ARoS and that Isbjerget thing.

Tehran

There's the neat-looking Azadi Tower and the tall Milad Tower. It was the site of a famous war conference, I think. Also, it's the capital of Iran.

Putrajaya

Putrajaya seems to be sort-of the capital of Malaysia, so perhaps some neat government buildings and such. There seem to be some neat-looking structures here. Wikitravel's idea or somethin.

Phnom Penh

Capital of Cambodia, with stuff like a royal palace, a national museum, probably a cool monument (like the Independence Monument) or two or more. Some photos of stuff in this city look kinda cool. Thanks Global Road Warrior again.

Irazu

Volcano with a green lake thing in Costa Rica. Views of both oceans, maybe. Thanks Global Road Warrior.

Wall Drug

This drug store in Wall, South Dakota, is famous for its advertising. There are some attractions in the store, it seems. Free ice water might be one of them.
