Is it the ancient city of Persepolis?

Zhelong was the first one to mention the correct answer. Thank you for your efforts.

The place is Persepolis, the capital of the Achaemenid Empire (ca. 550-330 BCE). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persepolis

This gate is the "gate of all nations". The palace belongs to Cyrus the Great.

Zhelong, it's your turn.

 

[zhelong]

Alright. Next mission is to guess a famous mountain in Asia. Hope this is easy

 

[koplady11]

Is it Huangshan mountain?

 

[zhelong]

Hi koplady11,
Nope, it's not Huangshan. Quite close though

 

[koplady11]

Is it Huashan then?

 

[zhelong]

yes, spot on. It is Huashan near Xi'an. Huashan has lot of amazing steep stairs like the one in the picture

Your turn.

Is it Huashan then?

 

[koplady11]

It was a nice perpective to take from the side angle to show how steep the steps were.

Will upload later at night since my picture's not with me now.

Okay this place might not have been visited by many tourists from Asia. I'm the one in the picture btw.

Clue: It is located in a country with a divided ruling.

Nice!!! Was it that simple?? Lol!!

Have you been there? I love Famagusta, I think it is such a pity that the tourist infrastructure is not as developed coz the architecture of the city is just beautiful.

Ur turn now!

....perhaps a bit difficult

where is this Street : Land/City

 

[zhelong]

Wild guess. Is it Sao Paulo, brazil?

 

[Poseidon88]

Wild guess. Is it Sao Paulo, brazil?

BINGO

soooo fast

It is Sào Paulo.
do you know the famous Avenida Paulista?

Your turn zhelong

 

[zhelong]

I didn't know Avenida Paulista. My gut feeling tell me that this is a south american city and I knew Sao Paulo is a metropolitan city with crowded building similar to the picture. So I made a wild guess.

Here is the next destination. Name the famous lake in this picture.

 

[koplady11]

The most famous lake I know of is Loch Ness.

 

[Poseidon88]

The most famous lake I know of is Loch Ness.

...the three persons waiting for "Nessie"


I think the lake is somewhere in Asia?!

 

[zhelong]

lol, don't think Loch Ness is such crystal clear.
Yes, somewhere in Asia. It may not be famous to a lot of people due to it's remote location. But definitely a famous place for those who know or visited that region.
Some hint: the local people on the boat has very unique culture.

I hope it is not too difficult Else I can provide more hints and pictures.
