I'm still missing a few cards from groups of RR's in which I participated, including this monthly RR, but in May I got all my cards.

This is an illustration of Tiananmen Square in the city center of Beijing, China. Outside China, the square is best known for the 1989 protests and massacre that ended with a military crackdown.
Card sent by Hok (?).

For Chinese people, the rabbit is a tame creature representing hope and life for a long time. It is tender and lovely. The moon goddess Chang'e in the Chinese legend has a rabbit as her pet, which stimulates the thought that only this creature is amiable enough to match her noble beauty. Another way of saying is that the Rabbit is the incarnation of the moon goddess per se and it is always a symbol of pureness and auspiciousness.

If I had to guess, I’d say this is the castle I have the most postcards from. It's totally fine, both the cards and the castle are fantastic. This one was sent by Heli.
Olavinlinna, literally Olof's Castle, is a 15th-century three-tower castle located in Savonlinna, Finland. It is built on an island in the Kyrönsalmi strait that connects the lakes Haukivesi and Pihlajavesi. It is the northernmost medieval stone fortress still standing.

Not much to see of Karlsruhe Palace on this card but the building is quite huge. The card was sent by Merle.
Karlsruhe's palace was built between 1715 and 1718. For almost 200 years it served as the residence and seat of government of the margraves, the electoral princes and grand dukes of Baden.
The palace was given its present baroque appearance in the second half of the 18th century after conversion work and extensions.
It has been home to the Baden State Museum (Badisches Landesmuseum) since 1921. Large parts of the bulding were destroyed by incendiary bombs in September 1944. When it was to be rebuilt, however, the decision was made to reconstruct only the exterior in the historically correct design. The interior was modified to suit the requirements of a modern museum. - in: https://www.karlsruhe-erleben.de
