10th Aniversario do Centro Historico de Macau como Patrimonio Mundial (Maximum Cards) (set of four) (Macau)
From 2015, a set of four maximum cards, each with a different historical building. We have to hand it to Macau: though the city is nearly unrecognisable from just a few years ago, much of the development has concentrated in specific areas, and the historical buildings have generally been nicely preserved–befitting a UNESCO Heritage location. These cards bear Macau Post’s reference numbers BPL 183-186. Unused. Grades: 1

Leal Senado Building (Macau)
We know the Portuguese heritage of Macau is almost imperceptibly disappearing because, once upon a time, this card would have had trilingual captioning. Now, just Chinese and English, but enough to explain the major significance of this 1784 structure in a UNESCO World Heritage location. Mailed in 2019, with stamp and full postmark, a very nice Macau postcard. Grade: 1

Code: 39100056
Price: $5.00

Code: 39100060
Price: $4.00
Rüdesheim am Rhein (Germany)
Mailed in 2020, the front of this card — showing a German winemaking town that’s part of a UNESCO Heritage area — is good. The reverse however is a jumble of stickers, stamp, labels, and extra notations that make it impossible to grade higher than: Grade: 4

Code: 39100061
Price: $1.00
Schöne Grüße aux Kassel, Bergpark World Heritage (Germany)
Mailed in 2021, this card has its stamp, blue trilingual Priority label, but illegible postmark. It shows the Bergpark Wold Heritage site, though this is identified only in German (Weltkulturerbe) on the front. Grade: 1

Code: 39100065
Price: $5.00
An Ancient Rare Tree (PR China)
This unusual unused postcard hides all its secrets in plain sight. To start, the card measures 4″ x 7-1/4″. Our header is the card’s caption, on front and reverse. But there’s more, in faint letters, and we will put it all here: “The Latin name of this tree is Morus cathayana Hemsl. It lives on Guanxin Slope, 1200 meters above sea level, and has witnessed a history of over 700 years. Greetings from Mt. Emei, a World Heritage site.” This is an official China Post card and had an uncancelled stamp affixed at point of origin. All we can suggest is that the Chinese Government should not tall anyone exactly where the tree is. Grade: 1

Code: 39100066
Price: $4.00
Ligou Garden (PR China)
Elements of previous card 39100066 are the same here: unused, stamped, official, Mt. Emei, Greetings, and World Heritage — and measuring 4″ x 7-1/4″. In this case, as the old saying goes, the card’s caption takes the cake: “Ligou Garden, or the Dirt-free Garden, sits among the trees in Fuhu Temple (“Tiger Taming Temple”). Nearly no dead leaf would ever fall on the roofs of the garden because of its unique architectural designs. This is considered a wonder in the world history of architecture.” Either that, or a clean-up squad appears in the middle of the night to exact its own wonders. Grade: 1

Code: 39100067
Price: $5.00
Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark – Geotour Routes
A December 2017 brochure … Hong Long being about 80% rural, some of these places are hard to find but nearly all are worth the effort. Grade: 1
