Landscape for Breeding and Training of Ceremonial Carriage Horses at Kladruby nad Labem
The property is located in the floodplain of the Elbe (Labe) River, with sandy soils, oxbow lakes and remains of riverine forests. The overall composition of the land structure and functional uses (pastures, meadows, forests, fields, parks), the network of roads, avenues, rows of trees as well as solitary trees, the network of waterways, the farm buildings and the functional relationships and connections between these components - all of which fully meet the needs of breeding and training Baroque Kladruber draft horses, which were used in ceremonial matters of the Habsburg Imperial Court. The composition of the landscape is evidence of a deliberate treatment of landscape art. The property is a rare example of the union of two cultural landscapes - a living organic landscape, where the primary function predominates, and an artificial landscape, carefully designed and created using the principles of French and English landscape architecture, and an outstanding example of a professionally decorated farm - ferme ornée. The Royal Stud Farm was founded in 1579 and its landscape has been used for this purpose since then.
Old Town of Galle and its Fortifications
Founded by the Portuguese in the 16th century, Galle reached its peak in the 18th century before the arrival of the British.

Former Residence of Zhang Zizhong
Zhang Zizhong's Former Residence is a two-story Western-style building with a brick-wood structure (partially three-story). The upper and lower inner corridors are supported by columns in front of the building, and there are symmetrical convex polygonal rooms on both sides of the building. In 1936, Zhang Zizhong bought this vacant land in the name of "Qing'an Hall" and built this building. The facade of the house follows a modern minimalist style, using local materials from Tianjin, and the shape is simple and unpretentious. Zhang Zizhong was the highest-ranking Chinese general who died on the front line during the Anti-Japanese War, and was posthumously awarded the title of Army General. Zhou Enlai wrote a eulogy for Zhang Zizhong, saying: "His loyalty and heroic spirit can be regarded as the soul of Chinese soldiers in the Anti-Japanese War."
Tianjin Postal Museum
The exhibition area of Tianjin Postal Museum is about 1,500 square meters, divided into four exhibition halls: "Introduction Hall", "Post Office and Other Communication Organizations Hall", "Postal Hall" and "Philatelic Hall". The exhibition content is divided into five stages in terms of time span, namely the ancient post office period, the establishment period of modern post office, the Qing Dynasty post office period, the Chinese Post Office period and the People's Post Office period. The exhibition hall introduces the historical changes of Tianjin Post over the past 100 years through text, real objects, photos, statues and other display methods, and shows the unique cultural charm of the postal industry. Tianjin Postal Museum was built on the site of the Qing Dynasty Post Office (today's No. 111 Jiefang Road, Heping District, Tianjin). This European-style building was once the location of the Customs Post Office and the "Qing Dynasty Post Office Tianjin Bureau" when the Qing Dynasty Customs tried to run the post office. It was formerly known as the "Tianjin Customs Bosi Da Bureau" and was the headquarters of the Customs Post Office at that time. The "Qing Dynasty Post Office Tianjin Bureau" building is a precious architectural relic in the history of modern Chinese postal service and a historical witness to the creation and development of modern Chinese postal service. The collection of Tianjin Postal Museum includes precious cultural relics such as "wheel rut stones" from the Qin and Han Dynasties, "brick paintings" from the Tang Dynasty, "Zhongli Yamen" real mailing envelopes from the early days of modern postal service, and "mail carriages" from the period of China Post, as well as a large number of stamps and philatelic products, including the first set of Chinese stamps such as the Dalong stamps. The exhibition of these cultural relics will make Tianjin Postal Museum the forefront of the country in terms of exhibit content and exhibition scale. Tianjin Postal Museum is also the only industry-specific museum in Tianjin, which will play a positive role in promoting and shaping postal culture and enhancing the image of the postal brand. On October 9, 2010, Tianjin Postal Museum will be officially completed and opened. The completion of the Postal Museum can provide a place for philatelists to visit and learn, and become a new tourist attraction in Tianjin. While shaping the image of Tianjin, the birthplace of modern Chinese postal service, it will also further expand the reputation and influence of China Post at home and abroad in a unique way, and enhance the overall brand image of the postal service.
Tianjin Porcelain House
The Porcelain House is located at No. 72, Chifeng Road, Heping District, Tianjin. It is a unique building in Tianjin. Its predecessor was a century-old French-style building. Its current life is an extremely luxurious "Porcelain Beauty Building". The building is called: a priceless "Chinese Ancient Porcelain Museum". This "Porcelain House" is a French-style building decorated with many antiques on Chifeng Road, Tianjin. It was designed by Zhang Lianzhi, the owner of the Porcelain House. The predecessor of the Porcelain House was a small French-style building with a history of more than 100 years. The original owner was a central finance minister. After the minister left, it became a bank. After liberation, it became the Tianjin Heping District Industrial and Commercial Bureau. It is No. 72 Chifeng Road. No. 70 on the left is the former residence of "Shanxi Merchant" Qiao Tiehan, and No. 78 on the right is the former residence of Zhang Xueliang. Later, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau moved to a new site and left it idle for more than ten years. It was not until Zhang Lianzhi bought it in 2000 that it began its history as a porcelain house again. In September 2002, Zhang Lianzhi spent 30 million yuan to buy a century-old small western-style building and decided to transform it into a porcelain building to promote the porcelain culture of the Chinese nation and build a monument to porcelain culture. At first, Zhang Lianzhi just thought that it would be enough to paste porcelain tiles on the eaves. In 2005, when Zhang Lianzhi attended the Asia-Europe Finance Ministers' Meeting in Tianjin, he went to the Huayun Museum for dinner and was shocked by a wall inlaid with ancient porcelain fragments. Inspired by this, Zhang Lianzhi thought that if the whole house was covered with ancient porcelain, the effect might be more amazing. So he took out all the Tang Sancai, Song and Yuan official kilns, and Ming and Qing treasures that he had collected for many years and turned them into unique building materials. In September 2007, the Porcelain House was officially opened to the public and immediately became a landmark building in Tianjin. From September 2007 to 2014, when the Porcelain House was officially opened to the public, Zhang Lianzhi had been constantly supplementing the Porcelain House, and the most recent one was completed in January 2009.
