Create a premium handcrafted paper-cut travel diorama of ${location}, designed as one piece in a cohesive collectible global destination series.

COMPOSITION
- Use a vertical portrait composition on a warm pale-cream background.
- Contain the entire scene within one large oval or arched vignette.
- Make one unmistakable landmark of ${location} the dominant hero, occupying roughly 30–40% of the composition.
- Add 2–3 smaller, highly recognizable secondary landmarks.
- Include one characteristic environmental anchor chosen specifically for ${location}, such as a river, harbor, coast, canal, mountain, park, desert, valley, or urban landscape.
- Add only 2–4 subtle local details that strengthen destination recognition.
- Build clear foreground, middle-ground, and background layers.
- Use asymmetrical balance and generous negative space. Avoid a crowded landmark collage.
- Give the hero substantially greater visual weight than all secondary elements.

VISUAL STYLE
Create a handcrafted layered paper-cut illustration from textured cardstock, with visible paper grain, crisp but slightly imperfect cut edges, stacked dimensional layers, subtle low-relief construction, soft natural cast shadows between layers, and a tactile handmade quality. Aim for a sophisticated collectible travel-poster aesthetic.

PALETTE
Use a restrained, cohesive palette of powder blue, dusty teal, sage or olive green, warm cream, beige, terracotta, and muted mustard or gold. Adapt 1–2 accent colors to ${location}, while keeping the overall palette muted, elegant, and harmonious.

SKY AND ATMOSPHERE
Use a soft blue sky with a warm circular sun, 2–4 dimensional cream clouds, and a few minimal paper birds. Keep the upper area spacious.

LANDMARKS AND LOCAL CHARACTER
Simplify architecture into clean paper shapes while preserving each landmark's most recognizable silhouette and defining features. Prioritize instant recognition over tiny architectural detail. Select genuinely characteristic landmarks and environmental elements of ${location}; avoid generic tourist imagery unless it is iconic to the destination.

DEPTH AND ENVIRONMENT
Use approximately 5–8 visual layers, such as sky, distant landmarks, secondary architecture, vegetation, hero landmark, environmental layer, and foreground details. If ${location} has significant water, use layered stylized waves and one small appropriate vessel. Otherwise, replace water with the destination's most recognizable natural or urban environmental feature.

COLLECTION CONSISTENCY
Make the result look like it belongs to the same collection as every other destination created with this prompt. Preserve the oval framing, visual hierarchy, paper material, shadow behavior, restrained palette, depth, and composition language across locations.

QUALITY AND EXCLUSIONS
Make the artwork bright, optimistic, nostalgic, elegant, and highly polished: a premium editorial illustration, not children's art. Do not include text, typography, labels, or a watermark. Avoid photorealism, glossy CGI, plastic surfaces, excessive detail, clutter, and a generic stock-illustration appearance.

OUTPUT
Create vertical, centered, highly recognizable, visually balanced, Instagram-ready collectible destination artwork.
