Thanks to Magdalena for the card.
"Mielno [ˈmjɛlnɔ] (German: Groß Möllen) is a coastal town in Koszalin County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-western Poland. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Mielno.[2] It lies approximately 12 kilometres (7 mi) north-west of Koszalin and 135 km (84 mi) north-east of the regional capital Szczecin. The town has a population of 3,200.
Mielno is a well-known tourist destination with sandy beaches on the Baltic Sea coast. It lies on a spit between the sea and the large Jamno lake. It is contiguous with the neighbouring resort of Unieście.
Before 1945 the town was part of Germany and known as Groß Möllen. After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration by the Potsdam Agreement under territorial changes demanded by the Soviet Union. Most Germans fled or were expelled and were replaced with Poles expelled from the Polish areas annexed by the Soviet Union."

CHINA - Terra-Cotta Warriors
This card shows "Terra-Cotta Warriors". They are may pottery figures when an ancient emperor died. These pottery figurines buried with him. They are just like an army. Of course, they are not real army. Every pottery has different faces and height, just like real people.
Thanks so much Sapphire.

NORWAY - Roros
Thanks to Joey for the card.
"Røros is one of the oldest towns of wooden buildings in Europe and is located on a gently sloping plateau 628 metres above sea level. The city was founded in 1644 when the first copper ore was found in the area, and over the years,
Røros became one of the most important mining towns in Norway.
Røros has retained much of its original character. The street pattern and farming properties in the centre of town are the same as were originally constructed in the 1600’s. Due to its authentic wooden buildings and unique character of an early mining town, Røros was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1980."
