Mont St. Michel is a great suggestion!

The Great Wall I didn't add for a reason.

Here's the reason: the Great Wall is long.

The Great Wall in real life covers 5,500 miles. I don't expect anyone to make anything procedurally generated in Minecraft THAT large. But even if it was smaller, the Great Wall would need to be long to be impressive. And we've all seen the instances where a structure doesn't spawn properly in Minecraft. A very long structure would be very hard to make it look correct. The Great Wall in real life doesn't randomly change height.

This problem is compounded further by how it was built. A very long, straight wall looks TERRIBLE. It is an uninviting barrier. The Great Wall in real life curves around hills and mountains. This is part of what gives it its impressive look - it curves around and around until it's out of sight. It would be very hard to make a Minecraft structure that not only changes height to fit the terrain and make it seem continuous, but one that can sense the hills and mountains and curve around them to make a truly breathtaking walk.
