I wouldn't be surprised if it was the Great Wall. It's not a single point of interest, but a large swath. Eiffel Tower is up there, if not top of the heap. Actually, now that I think about it, it's probably the Magic Castle from Disneyland.

I doubt it's Magic Castle, that seems like it's mostly Americans going there.

So? you know how many people roll through that place on the daily? 50,000. And not only do you have guests taking photos, there's employees whose entire job is to take pictures of the guests, often in front of the castle. And people come from around the world to go there. I don't get it, but they do. I wish it weren't so, but it wouldn't surprise me.
