The postcard from Portland (Oregon, USA). The beautiful view of full moon rising over Mt. Hood & the City of Roses. Sent by Gecko, who told me that Portland people are coffee and beer lovers :) 

My first postcard received from postcrosser via personal exchange (direct swap). This north view of Seattle skyline and Elliot Bay came from Geoff. I wish I could visit this city one day.

The card from Li Tong, a 20 years old Chinese girl. It depicts the Yulong (Jade Dragon) Snow Mountain & the ancient city of Lijiang, China.

Wiki says:
Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is a mountain massif (also identified as a small mountain range) near Lijiang, in Yunnan province of southwestern China. Its highest peak is named Shanzidou (5,596 m or 18,360 ft). The view of the massif from the gardens at the Black Dragon Pool (Heilong Tan) in Lijiang is noted as one of China's finest views. The far side of the mountain forms one side of Tiger Leaping Gorge (Hutiao Xia).
Shanzidou has been climbed only once, on May 8, 1987, by an American expedition. The summit team comprised Phil Peralta-Ramos and Eric Perlman. They climbed snow gullies and limestone headwalls, and encountered high avalanche danger and sparse opportunities for protection. They rated the maximum technical difficulty of the rock at YDS 5.7.
The Austro-American botanist and explorer Joseph Rock spent many years living in the vicinity of Jade Dragon Mountain, and wrote about the region and the Nakhi people who occupy it. An interest in Rock later drew the travel writer Bruce Chatwin to the mountain, which he wrote about in an article that appeared in the New York Times and later, retitled, in his essay collection What Am I Doing Here?. Chatwin's article inspired many subsequent travellers, including Michael Palin, to visit the region.
The Jade Water Village is at the foot of the mountain.
