Which of the highly touted ancient architectural tourist destinations are purely hype and worthless?

?As a backpacker who has been to India, I have always wanted to complain about the ancient architectural attractions in India that the media promotes day and night, such as the Taj Mahal, City Palace, Humayun’s Tomb, etc. The above are all architectural styles of Islamic mosques. To put it bluntly, they are mausoleums, but they are hyped by the media as the most worthwhile place to visit in India. India is a complex and diverse country. If you just want to see Islamic mosques, why not directly Visiting mosques in China, but traveling all the way to India? Now let me refute some tourist attractions in India that are not worth visiting, and by the way recommend some places that I personally find interesting.

?First of all, it is not recommended to go to the Taj Mahal in India. After actually getting there, it was like the slogan on the instant noodles: "The actual product shall prevail." The entire Taj Mahal is a mixed bag of people, and the area is not small, but under the crowds, it looks particularly depressing. People say that the Taj Mahal's pool water will sparkle under the setting sun, but the area is really cloudy all year round, and the sun is blocked. There is no golden light, leaving only a sultry environment and noisy crowds in the scenic spot. The hygienic environment of the scenic spot is not good, and garbage can be seen everywhere at one end, which made my trip very unpleasant. The real Taj Mahal is completely different from what the media promotes. If you just go there with expectations, you may be disappointed. Its price/performance ratio is extremely low. The situation of other Indian Islamic mosques is generally the same. I recommend not to visit these scenic spots when traveling to India.

? Secondly, if you want to visit India, I recommend going to Mumbai, a huge city in India, where you can see some ancient Indian traditions The architecture and the scene that perfectly blends with modern architecture make it a place worth visiting.
