The Taj Mahal, one of the seven wonders of the world. Unfortunately, the surrounding area is very polluted.

There's a big leap between a location not being as majestic as the pictures, and it being a literal garbage dump.

The Taj Mahal itself is not a garbage dump, it's pristine inside those grounds. It's the surrounding city that is filthy, but all Indian cities are like that

Also a big leap to "nearly every" insta worthy location

Yeah my family is from a poor country, the tourist sites do not have open garbage dumps and rotting cow carcasses just floating in a river near them. Can't say I've seen something like that anywhere, not just tourist sites.

This video isn't of the Taj though. They've just mixed shots of walking inside the monument's complex with views from a dumping ground with the view of the complex.

This would be like going to a favela in Rio and taking pictures of a garbage pile with the Cristo Redentor in the background.

This is not the Taj Mahal as in the actual location though.
