Erdene Zuu monastery is probably the earliest surviving Buddhist monastery in Mongolia. It is part of the Orkhon Valley Cultural Landscape UNESCO World Heritage Site. A swap through Postcrossing.com forum.

Teotihuacan

Teotihuacan is a prehispanic city near Mexico City. The origin of this city is a mystery, nobody knows which culture was the founder of this place, when the Aztecs came to this part of the country they have found the city already abandoned. They thought it was a city built by the gods and they were inspired by it. UNESCO was also inspired. Private swap through Postcrossing.com.

Rafflesia arnoldi in Sumatra

I do not think that I would ever have the courage to come close to this flower. I am pretty sure it eats people. From a Postcrossing Tag.

Valley of snow

So you say that you could not come to work because there was a heavy snowfall? Like 12 centimeters or 5 inches? And what about 10 meters? Offical PC.

Ochrid

Ochrid in Macedonia is one of the oldest human settlements in Europe. Its collection of old icons earned it a place on the UNESCO WHS list. From UNESCO PC Tag.

Julian Alps

Julian Alps in Slovenia. From the PC fav tag.

Troy

Each time that I receive a card like that one, I have mixed feelings. Oh dear, Troy! Not simply a UNESCO WHS but one of the ladmarks of classical culture, made immortal by Homer in the Iliad. But then dear, just look what is left of it. A few stones here and a few stones there.
