The Taj Mahal
The Taj Mahal is a famous building in India. The color of the walls changes at different times of the day. It is pink early in the morning. During the day, it changes to white, and it is golden at night.
Besides the building, the story behind the Taj Mahal is well known, too. King Shah Jahan had three wives, and Mumtaz Mahal was his favorite. They fell in love at a young age, and they went to many places together. Sadly, Mumtaz Mahal lost her life at the age of 37. Shah Jahan cried for days and hid from everyone.
Later, the king built the Taj Mahal for the love of his life. The work was not easy, so it lasted twenty years. Now, he and Mumtaz Mahal rest there forever. Every year, people around the world travel to India for the Taj Mahal.
泰姬瑪哈陵
泰姬瑪哈陵是印度一間有名的建築。它牆面的顏色在一天之中不同的時段會有所變化。它在清晨是粉紅色的。白天時,它變成白色,而到了晚上,它是金色的。
除了建築物本身,泰姬瑪哈陵背後的故事也是家喻戶曉。沙.迦罕王有三個妻子,而慕塔芝.瑪哈是他的最愛。他們在年輕時相愛,他們也一起去了很多地方。令人傷心的是,慕塔芝.瑪哈在三十七歲去世。沙.迦罕哭了好幾天,且避不見人。
後來,這位國王為他一生的摯愛建造了泰姬瑪哈陵。這項工程並不容易,所以它持續了二十年。現在,他和慕塔芝.瑪哈在那裡永遠地安息。每年都有世界各地的人們為了泰姬瑪哈陵來到印度。
