Default What Do You Think of the Travel Channel's Seven Wonders of China?

I don't usually watch the Travel Channel, but I saw an episode of the Seven Wonders of China today and thought I'd see what people thought of the list.

Their seven wonders are:
1. Leshan Buddha
2. Hanging Monastery
3. Forbidden City
4. The Great Wall
5. Mount Wudang
6. Terracotta Warriors
7. Shibaozhai Temple

What do you think? Any that you'd switch with a different "wonder"?
I should also ask which you have seen. I've seen 3 of these: Forbidden City, the Great Wall, and Mount Wudang.

I agree with 5 out of 7.

I think the Gretto in Duhuang should be there. Along with Summer Palace and Temple of Heaven.

Instead of Shibazhai Temple, Mt. Wudang and Hanging Monastery.

I think wonders should be something magnificent, special and unique.

The list will probably get some argument. But if a first-timer was making an itinerary of things to see, TC's list would be good for starters.

I have been to 3, 4, and 6.
