19. Lake Bled, Slovenia
Regular readers may recognize this church on the island on this lake. Lovely Lake Bled is located in the resort town Lake Bled. In the center of the lake is an islet. Its most recognizable feature is the well-known medieval Pilgrimage Church of the Assumption of Mary. Also known as the “Lady of the Lake,” its tower can be seen peeping through the tall trees there. Backdropped by both the Karawanks Mountains and the Julian Alps, it presents a dramatic, fairytale-like scene.
20. The Great Wall Of China, China
This is the longest man-made structure on the planet. It spans a distance of 20,000 kilometers, snaking through mountains, forests, and even rivers. This series of connected fortresses were constructed between 701 BC and 1644 A.D. Like the previously-mentioned Great Barrier Reef, the Great Wall of China can also be seen from space.

Hi!
I don’t generally create the lists, so I am uncertain of the requirements for making the list. I suspect at one of those would have been number 30 though and the others have been included on several other lists. SO keep reading and thanks for your comment!
