The Chocolate Hills is an unusual geological formation in the island province of Bohol in the Philippines. The hills are the most famous tourist attraction on the island and consists of at least 1,268 individual mounds. The hills are scattered throughout the municipalities of Carmen, Batuan, and Sagbayan. What makes them intriguing is their mostly uniform molehill shape and size ranging from 30 to 50 meters high. The hills are covered in green grass that turns brown during the dry season, giving the hills their name.....

    the new 7 wonders of the world are no longer "wonders" per se... its like politics now... you see, if all Chinese people unite and vote any place they like, believe me, that place will become one of the "so-called" wonders of the world regardless of what it is...
