The only Chinese wonder in game? I thought there are two of them - Terracotta Army and Forbidden City, and I also thought the first one was built by Qin Shi Huang and the second one by Yongle...
You're right. I forgot about the Terracotta Army because I never build it, and I was thinking of the Yuan Dynasty's construction of Khanbaliq, where the Ming would subsequently build the Forbidden Palace. Still, I'm very much for more East Asian wonders. ;)

With Las Vegas Strip going down, let me post this video of LV casinos being imploded. I think it fits for this situation...

 
Arc de Triomphe - 11
Burg Hohenzollern - 23 + 1 = 24 (Remarkably beautiful, but also once a place of strategic import.)
Catedral Primada de Bogota - 17
Château Frontenac - 24
Chrám Sv. Barbory - 20
Citadel of Qaitbay - 21
Colossi of Memnon - 14
Dhammayangyi Temple - 20

Humayun's Tomb - 20
Iglesia de Achao - 20
Krak des Chevaliers - 22
Museo El Castillo - 14
Naqshe-e Rustam - 23 (22 + 1) -- The great necropolis of the Achaemenids and Sassanids, about as close to a Zoroastrian holy site as we can hope for, and a beautiful location.
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 21
Palácio de Pena - 20
Prambanan - 21

Etemenanki - 20
Fasil Ghebbi - 20
Humayun's Tomb - 17 (20-3) Would prefer other Indian wonders.
Iglesia de Achao - 20
Krak des Chevaliers - 22
Museo El Castillo - 14
Naqshe-e Rustam - 23
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 22 (21+1) Another theatre wonder is not out of the question.

Chrám Sv. Barbory - 20
Citadel of Qaitbay - 21
Colossi of Memnon - 14
Dhammayangyi Temple - 20
Dunedin Railway Station - 5 (8-3) I thought everybody would agree that the most wondrous train station would be in Antwerp. I think we need more industrious wonders though.

Palacio de Bellas Artes - 22
Palácio de Pena - 20
Prambanan - 21
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 21
Swayambhunath - 21 (20+1) perfect example of two religions using them same location for a shared holy place. Located in a rain forest hill, it would look gorgeous on the map.

Temple of the Great Jaguar - 6

Palácio de Pena - 20 + 1 = 21 We need Portuguese wonders in the game, and this palace would look great on the map.
Prambanan - 21
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 21
Swayambhunath - 21
Teatro Colón - 21
Temple of Heaven - 24
Temple of the Great Jaguar - 6 - 3 = 3 This pyramid design would be best worked as an unique improvement of the Mayan Civilization.

Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 21
Swayambhunath - 21
Teatro Colón - 21
Temple of Heaven - 24
Temple of the Great Jaguar - 3-3=0 (ELIMINATED) - With Chichén Itzá and Huey Teocalli already covering the Mesoamerican pyramids, this would be quite redundant.

Dhammayangyi Temple - (20+1)=21 Largest temple in Bagan, Myanmar.
Dunedin Railway Station - (5-3)=2 I'm disgusted a Mesoamerican pyramid was eliminated before this and several others :mad:. There are plenty of colonial style train stations, and this is hardly the greatest.
Etemenanki - 20
Fasil Ghebbi - 20
Humayun's Tomb - 17
Iglesia de Achao - 20 I prolly have to target this soon, it's a small wooden church in Chile...

Chrám Sv. Barbory - 20
Citadel of Qaitbay - 21
Colossi of Memnon - 14 Coming for you next.
Dhammayangyi Temple - 21
Dunedin Railway Station - 2 - 3 = ELIMINATED. The idea of a train station being a world wonder is puzzling to me, and its inclusion here is an insult to the many worthier (or at least more interesting) options here.
Etemenanki - 20
Fasil Ghebbi - 20
Humayun's Tomb - 17
Iglesia de Achao - 20
Krak des Chevaliers - 23 + 1 = 24 (I am not a huge fan of castle wonders, but if there has to be one, this is among the top contenders.)

Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 21
Swayambhunath - 21
Teatro Colón - 21
Temple of Heaven - 25 (24 + 1) -- Iconic and would look stunning on the map.
 
Arc de Triomphe - 2 (5 - 3) The next to go and I wouldn't miss it.
Burg Hohenzollern - 24
Catedral Primada de Bogota - 17
Château Frontenac - 24
Chrám Sv. Barbory - 17 (20 - 3)
Citadel of Qaitbay - 21
Colossi of Memnon - 14
Dhammayangyi Temple - 22 (21 + 1) A beautiful structure, although I'd be fine with anything from Bagan.

Arc de Triomphe - 2 - 3 = ELIMINATED Not really special in the grand scheme of things
Burg Hohenzollern - 24
Catedral Primada de Bogota - 17
Château Frontenac - 24 + 1 = 25 I'm biased
Chrám Sv. Barbory - 17

Catedral Primada de Bogota - 17
Château Frontenac - 25
Chrám Sv. Barbory - 17
Citadel of Qaitbay - 21
Colossi of Memnon - 11 (14-3) I mean, this would look better as an improvement.
Dhammayangyi Temple - 23 (22+1) This seems really cool.
Etemenanki - 20

Citadel of Qaitbay - 21
Colossi of Memnon - 11
Dhammayangyi Temple - 23
Etemenanki - 20
Fasil Ghebbi - 17 (20-3) In short: Impressive place with some history, but there are 'better' (read more iconic and famous) Ethiopian wonders and' better' castle wonders in my opinion. So this one is not needed.
Humayun's Tomb - 17
Iglesia de Achao - 20
Krak des Chevaliers - 24
Museo El Castillo - 14
Naqshe-e Rustam - 23
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 22
Palácio de Pena - 21
Prambanan - 22 (21+1) A worthy choice that could replace Borobudur as the Indonesian wonder. I fear that an inclusion of this one might prevent Angkor Wat because of some superficial similarities.
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 21
Swayambhunath - 21
Teatro Colón - 21
Temple of Heaven - 25
 
Burg Hohenzollern - 24
Catedral Primada de Bogota - 17
Château Frontenac - 25
Chrám Sv. Barbory - 20 Correcting, it seems that someone wanted to take this off, but changed his mind to another option. Then back to 20 points.
Citadel of Qaitbay - 21
Colossi of Memnon - 11
Dhammayangyi Temple - 23
Etemenanki - 20
Fasil Ghebbi - 17
Humayun's Tomb - 17
Iglesia de Achao - 20 - 3 = 17 I think we have many temples and churches on the list, we can take some out.
Krak des Chevaliers - 24 + 1 = 25 I still do not have a favorite on the list, but this certainly is a strong candidate.

So noone touched St. Barbara's Church yet, and thus it remains the only untouched wonder so far :p

Burg Hohenzollern - 24
Catedral Primada de Bogota - 17
Château Frontenac - 25
Chrám Sv. Barbory - 20
Citadel of Qaitbay - 21
Colossi of Memnon - 11-3=8 - Ehm... I don't think this is a very good Egyptian wonder. In my opinion, all of the Egyptian wonders featured in the past rounds (Luxor Temple, Karnak Temples, Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut and Abu Simbel) would make a better wonder for Egypt.
Dhammayangyi Temple - 23
Etemenanki - 20+1=21 - The inspiration to the Tower of Babel would surely make a good inclusion? We need some great Zikkurat, not these puny tiny things built by in-game Sumer!
