It was last week when Sir @Mictorrani published an article about The Seven Wonders of the World - Old & New Lists , at the last part of it, he stated "Why not making your own list?", which also gives me an idea on why not to chose my own set of 7 Wonders of the world.

The seven places that I am going to share are those that really catch my interest, places that makes me wow and aim that someday hopefully I can visit, these places are those that I've never think exist. I am more fascinated about historical places, part of the mythology and religion but for today I'm going to exclude it, also places such as Chichén Itzá, Great Pyramid of Giza and Great Wall of China because these are always on the list of choices. I gonna exclude also the places in the Philippines as I don't want to be biased, if I have the chance, I will put all those 7 Wonders as all places from Philippines, besides Rices Terraces, Mayon Volcano, Puerto Princesa became part of the list/votings for the 7 Wonders of the World.

The Lake Retba(Pink Lake), Africa

• Known as Lac Rose by locals

• 3 square kilometers big (about 1,1 square miles)

The Dunaliella salina bacteria, which is attracted to the lake's salt content, is responsible for its distinctive pink color. To absorb sunlight, bacteria produce a red pigment, which gives the lake its distinct color.

For those who like to have an aesthetic type of get away, unique site and unbelievable view, then this one is an amazing places to visit. Imagine boating in a pink water, seems like you're in a strawberry juice.

Glowworm Cave, New Zealand

If you want to be in a magical place, like what we have seen in Disney movie and other magical tales, then this one is perfect. I'm scared to enter caves, but if this kind of view which will welcome me there, then why not; it's worth to try.

Stone Forest, Madagascar

• located in Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park

• standing rock spires surrounds the area, which is up to 120 meters deep

For those who loves adventures, this place doesn't only feed your eyes with wonders but also challenge you to climb and do hiking. This really looks dangerous and scary, yet some tourists take the chance to feel the view on top; of course why wasting your opportunity in visiting there if you have the chance to do so.

Underwater Waterfall, Mauritius

• located on the southwestern coast of the island known as Le Morne Peninsula

"It's not the water that's falling into the deep, but the sand and silt sediments that are constantly moving."

Although this one only gives an illusion, yet it still gives a mesmerizing view. Like you're looking to an ocean and waterfalls in one picture. This gonna be a unique destination for those who love beach.

The Wave, Arizona

• located in the Coyote Buttes North area of the Utah Arizona border

Another best location for those who loves to do hiking, a stunning place to do photography. It looks like an art of repetition, a synchronize formation. I first saw this in Tiktok video and it's really more attractive than photo, imagine being here featuring good weather.

Cotton Castle, Turkey

• Pamukkale is literally mean “Cotton Castle”

• composed of 17 hot water spring, temperature ranges from 35 °C (95 °F) to 100 °C (212 °F)

There is something like this here in the Phillipines, I've watched it in the Television News Show, KMJS; just I forgot the name, I tried to search but I cannot found it, please let me know if you knew it.

What I like more about this tourist attraction is the combination of the sky blue and white color, it's formation is like you're in a tub. Also perfect for photography and those who wants a unique vacation.

Sea of Stars, Maldives

Made by Lingulodinium polyedrum, a bioluminescent phytoplankton, causes this phenomenon in the Maldives' reefs in late summer.

I am an Astrophile, and the first time that I saw this on a documentary video gives me a tickled Pink. I first thought that this is a reflection of the stars but through searching more, I understand how this phenomenon happened. By this place, you can literally say, "I reached the star".
