Churches and Convents of Goa
Goa, the former capital of Portuguese India, has churches and monasteries—particularly the Church of Bom Jesus, where St. Francis Xavier is buried—that epitomize the evangelization of Asia. These monuments had a profound influence on the spread of Manueline, Mannerist, and Baroque art forms in all the countries in Asia where missions were established.
Puerto-Princesa Subterranean River National Park
The park features spectacular limestone karst landscapes and an underground river. A major feature of the river is that it flows directly into the sea, with the lower reaches partly affected by tides. The area is also an important habitat for biodiversity conservation. The area has a complete "mountain-sea" ecosystem and contains the most important forests in Asia.
Tianta Lake Scenic Area
Tianjin Radio and Television Tower is located at the junction of Zijinshan Road and Jinliu Highway, south of Niegong Bridge, Hexi District, Tianjin. It is named after the first and last two characters of the tower, so it is abbreviated as "Tian Tower". The tower is 415.2 meters high, the highest in Asia today, and among the tallest towers in the world. It was built in 1991 and stands between the blue waves and the sky. It is the only "water tower" in the world. Its momentum is like a sword leaning against the sky, and it enjoys the reputation of "Tian Tower Spinning Clouds". Tian Tower integrates tourism, catering, entertainment, radio and television and other functions. It can broadcast 7 sets of color TV programs and 9 sets of FM stereo radio programs at the same time. The tower hall, observation hall, space rotating hall and 270-meter open-air sightseeing platform are open to tourists. In the observation hall, you can use the telescopes in every corner to take in the scenery of a hundred miles. The third floor is a revolving restaurant, which can accommodate more than 200 people at the same time. Every 45 minutes, the restaurant will rotate once. People can rotate with the hall and their eyes will move with the scenery. The feeling is indescribable. The Tianta Lake beside the Tianta Tower is equipped with a world-class leading-edge technology large-scale music and light fountain group and water curtain movie. Along the south bank of the lake is the longest artificial mountain in China, which has become a highlight of the Tianta Lake tourist area. During the day, flowers and plants complement the light of the lake and the shadow of the tower; at night, the night space is full of waves, and the glowing tower competes with the stars and the moon, making it difficult to distinguish between heaven and earth.
