3.0
New Delhi, India is a historical city. There are many traces of history in this city. Many urban areas are relatively poor. You can see some of the local people’s lifestyles here. The huge area of the slums is also terrifying.

The Victory Gate, a traditional red brick structure, is a must-see upon entering Agra. It's Asia's largest and tallest city gate and one of India's most iconic structures. Admire this magnificent gate and take some photos.
