My favourite official postcard! It's night view and what's more it's from so uncommon country! In a World Tourism Organization report of international tourism for 2006, Macau ranked 21st in the number of tourists and 24th in terms of tourism receipts. From 9.1 million visitors in 2000, arrivals to Macau has grown to 18.7 million visitors in 2005 and 22 million visitors in 2006. And it still grows...

The Kurpark Wiesbaden was designed in 1852 in the style of an English landscape garden. The garden's foliage includes magnolias, azaleas, rhododendrons and swamp cypresses.
The pond, where visitors can hire boats, features a man-made island and an impressive six metre tall fountain. For several years, the 75,000 square metre park, which extends from the city centre to the Wiesbaden district of "Sonnenberg", has also hosted rock and pop concerts. And in the summer of 2005 more than 10,000 visitors came here to greet the Dalai Lama.

Tower of Belém in Lisbon, Portugal.
It's an UNESCO World Heritage Site because of the significant role it played in the Portuguese maritime discoveries of the era of the Age of Discoveries.
The tower was built in the early 16th century and is a prominent example of the Portuguese Manueline style,, but it also incorporates hints of other architectural styles

Batalha Monastery, is a Dominican convent in the Portuguese town of Batalha. It's one of the best and original examples of Late Gothic architecture in Portugal, intermingled with the Manueline style.
As Capelas Imperfeitas (The Unfinished Chapels) remain as a testimony of the fact that the monastery was never actually finished. They form a separate octagonal structure tacked on the choir of the church and only accessible from the outside. It was commissioned in 1437 by King Duarte I as a second royal mausoleum for himself and his descendants.
