The highlights of Waste to Wonder Park in Delhi are the beautiful replicas of the Seven Wonders of the World. Each monument is separated from the other by a thick cover of trees that act as curtains. This was done on purpose so that tourists can focus on one monument at a time and not get distracted by the others nearby.
