lush


 Garajonay National Park in the Canary Islands is 40 sq. km. This stamp shows some of the large rock formations which are former volcanoes carved by erosion and a small hint that it is also a lush forest. It has been a World Heritage Site since 1986.

From Spain

 to Singapore

and the Singapore Botanic Gardens which only became a World Heritage Site in 2015 (and Singapore's first UNESCO site and the first and only tropical garden on the heritage list) but it was created in 1859. The stamps feature the gazebo at the Bandstand, Burkill Hall (the original residence of the superintendent) and Tanglin Gate (the main entrance)

Two places it would be wonderful to visit. I understand the title of your post! :)
(By the way, the name of the park is Garajonay.)

My UNESCO WHS are here.

I've chosen three of Canada's Parks and kept my fingers crossed that yours would be different. Great places - http://bit.ly/3v3ie7C
