Top 10 Natural Wonders of the World by Your Name Our world is full of wonders. People are busy in exploring these wonders. Many more are still hidden and undiscovered yet. These spectacular structures always inspires us. Compiling a list of top 10 natural wonders of the world is never an easy task because various lists of the Wonders of the World have been compiled from ancient to the present day, to catalog the most spectacular natural wonders and man-made structures. Similar to the other lists of wonders, there is no consensus on a list of ten natural wonders of the world, and there has been a debate over how large the list should be. We did our best to compile this top 10 natural wonders of the world in a list counting backwards from 10 to 1. Hope you will like it. Have your visited any? Ha Long Bay Ha Long Bay, in the Gulf of Tonkin, includes some 1,600 islands and islets, forming a spectacular seascape of limestone pillars.

The bay features thousands of limestone karsts and isles in various sizes and shapes. The limestone in this bay has gone through 500 million years of formation in different conditions and environments. The evolution of the karst in this bay has taken 20 million years under the impact of the tropical wet climate. Ha Long Bay is home to 14 endemic floral species and 60 endemic faunal species.
