Probably the Three Gorges Dam at a time when it's maximum capacity. The destruction due to flooding all along the Yangtze would be incredible.

OP didn't specify, so before I even start to think about this, I'm just going to assume it has the same yield as a Minuteman I. From now on I'll assume its payload is one megaton and its blast radius is half of a kilometer.

Anywhere the explosion is powerful enough to trigger a landslide that results in a megatsunami. One of the canary islands is ready to go and it could take out the whole eastern seaboard.
