Kiyomizu Temple,Kyoto,Japan
It was constructed as a religious place in 1633.
The temple's name means "clear water". I have visited this place.One of famous places in Kiyomizu Temple is three kinds of water.Three kinds of water are floating and you can drink one of them with your eyes closed. One water is for your good looking ,second is for your affluence,and third is for your success of business or study. The one water which you chose is what you can succeed in. Kiyomizu temple is also famous as a place for commiting suicide.Kiyomizu temple has a strange atmosphere to attract people.
Statues of Easter Island ,Chile
It was discovered in 1772 by Dutch explorer Jakob Roggeveen. It is known as Moai and is believed that a society of Polynesian origin settled there in the 4th century and established a unique tradition of monumental sculpture.I wondered how the ancient people created such a large monumental sculpture without electric machine. These statues are also believed that they brought island good things like rain and fertile ground. I'm also interested in such religious back ground.
The Hagia Sophia,Turkey
It was the greatest Christian cathedral of the Middle Ages,later converted into an imperial mosque in 1453 by the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed 2, and into a museum in 1935.It has been rebuilt and repaired so many times.I'm attracted its mosaics.The Christian iconographic mosaics are being gradually uncovered;however, in order to do so, important , historic Islamic art would have to be destroyed. The balance between both Christian and Islamic cultures must be maintained.
The Pyramids at Giza
It was built between 2600 and 2500B.C.
The three Pyramids at Giza made of more than 5million limestone blocks.The largest of three Pyramids is known as Great Pyramid and its size is about 146 meters.This means that the kings of ancient Egypt had great powers to control people.I was impressed by their domination and great hardship of many people.
Sydney Opera House,Sydney, Australia
Opera House is a complex theater. It has five theaters, five rehearsal studios, two main halls, four restaurants etc.It is famous for its unique structure and design. I have visited Opera House before.I hope this mordern architecture would be brought down next generation.
The statue of Liberty, New York City, U.S.A.
The statue of Liberty was presented from French government to the US government to honor the ideals of freedom and independence.I have visited the statue of Liberty. It is famous as symbol of freedom. I think this statue shows the spirit of American people.And, I hope that every people in the world would attain their freedom and hopeful life as this statu shows us.
The Kremlin and Red Square,Moscow,Russia
It was built as a residence for Ivan1.Today, it is used as president's office. I have visited the Kremlin. I had never seen such a structure at that time,and was impressed so much. "Kremlin " means castle in Russian word.There are many beautiful historic architectures in Russia. I would like to know about these beautiful structures everyone in the world. And I hope that these structures would be exist forever.
