The second site that we visited was Taj Mahal, one of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
The Taj Mahal is a mausoleum ( a building with burial site dedicated for someone) located in Agra, India. It was built by Shah Jahan in memory of his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal. It is widely considered as one of the most beautiful buildings in the world and stands as a symbol of eternal love.
The tickets for foreigners to enter any site in India are three times more expensive than those for local people. There was a long line of waiting to enter Taj Mahal.
We have to go through metal detector and police inspection. Visitors are not allowed to bring any weapon, cigarettes, matches and camera stands.
