This powerful fortress of red sandstone encompasses, within its 2.5 kmlong enclosure walls, the imperial city of the Mughal rulers. It comprises many fairy tale palaces, such as the Jahangir Palace and the Khas Mahal, built by Shah Jahan; audience halls, such as the DiwaniKhas; and two very beautiful mosques. B. Taj Mahal Taj Mahal is regarded as one of the eight wonders of the world, and some western historians have noted that its architectural beauty has never been surpassed. The Taj is the most beautiful monument built by the Mughals, the Muslim rulers of India. Taj Mahal is built entirely of white marble. It was constructed over a period of twentytwo years, employing twenty thousand workers. It was completed in 1648 CE at a cost of 32 million Rupees. C. Keoladeo National Park This former duckhunting reserve of the Maharajas is one of the major wintering areas for large numbers of aquatic birds from Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, China and Siberia. Some 364 species of birds, including the rare Siberian crane, have been recorded in the park. D. Humayun's Tomb, Delhi This tomb, built in 1570, is of particular cultural significance as it was the first gardentomb on the Indian subcontinent. It inspired several major architectural innovations, culminating in the construction of the Taj Mahal. The gardens also contain the redandwhite sandstone and blackandyellow marble tomb of Humayun's wife and the tomb of Humayun's barber. E. Grand Canyon National Park The Grand Canyon is perhaps the most awesome sight in the United States-and one of the wonders of the world. Much of the park's beauty is related to its geology and ecology. The Skywalk at Grand Canyon West is really exciting. F. Sundarbans National Park The Sundarbans covers 10,000 sq. km of land and water (more than half of it in India, the rest in Bangladesh) in the Ganges delta. It contains the world's largest area of mangrove forests. A number of rare or endangered species live in the park, including tigers, aquatic mammals, birds and reptiles. 请阅读以下旅游者的信息，然后匹配旅游者和他/她拟旅游的景点。 1. Carina is fond of art and likes traveling very much.
