As a land of natural beauty and a city with cultural appeal, west China's 
Chongqing Municipality attracts swaths of tourists thanks to its magical 
terrain and mountainous landscape. The local branch of the China Post Group 
Corporation held a press conference on October 16, announcing a competition to 
collect image ideas from around the world for making Chongqing-themed 
postcards. In addition to the prize money, the selected works from the 
contestants will be produced and distributed by the company as postal cards.

The collections cover four themes, seeking pictures that record and show 
Chongqing's rapid economic development and urban construction, the unique 
cultural resources, outstanding and humorous aspects of the city, its 
enchanting natural landscape as well as the vigorous charm of the young 
municipality's performance in the past 22 years.

It's an important strategic fulcrum for the development of China's western
