Oh boy, this will outrage some, I'm sure:

1. The Great Wall of China-not the wall itself, which was amazing, but the hucksters and sellers at the base of it. We had to run a gauntlet. It was the same at the Summer Palace and the Temple of Heaven. I will admit I did some shopping for postcards at all of them, and I do understand it's an income. It was just more aggressive than anything I'd seen in America.

2. Niagara Falls-again, not the falls itself, but all the cheesy museums and schlock around it. It was fun when I was a kid and I did the Ripley's Believe it or Not and the wax museum, but as an adult it was just annoying.

3. Graceland-I'm glad I went, and it's as over the top and cheesy as you'd think it is. It's also in a surprisingly rough neighborhood of Memphis (I'd thought he'd be in the equivalent of Beverly Hills), on a huge main drag, with little choice to grab lunch nearby. And again with the commercialism.

GM3 lesser-known destinations you would recommend.
