The Eiffel Tower

Eiffel tower at night.
 Probably one of the world's most recognizable landmark , the Eiffel Tower. Erected in 1889 , it stands tall and proud as the world's most visited paid monument located in Champs de Mars in Paris. We all know how the Eiffel Tower looks like , it has appeared in post cards , posters , television shows , movies , advertisements and many more , so to see it in person in real life in Paris , is really one kind of an experience. My family and I all went like "woahh that is actually the Eiffel Tower right here" , it is THAT extraordinary. We first visited it during the night , it shines bright in the Paris night sky with a gigantic spot light shinning out from the top. Occasionally , the entire tower sparklers like a star when its special sparkling lights are turn on. During the next day , we went up to the very top of the tower to look at the skyline of Paris. It is really really high and at the top of the tower , there is an interesting statistic board that compares the Eiffel Tower to all other countries' tallest structure , Singapore is in there too! With One Raffles Place being tallest. Do i have to say anything more?? I thank my parents for allowing me to have an opportunity to witness one of the greatest sights in the world in one of the greatest cities.
