China: Huangshan

On 7th August I got a postcard from China.

It was sent through official Postcrossing and shows a view of Huangshan. Huangshan is a mountain range in eastern China. It has always been a popular subject of Chinese art and literature and today is one of the most popular tourist destinations in China. Since 1990 is Mount Huangshan on the UNESCO World Heritage List. 

Four nice stamps were used here. On the left is a stamp about Jingsheng from a set of eight about Ancient Towns (issued 19-05-2013). The next one is about the Longxing Temple in Zhengding (issued 26-06-2016). It is from a set of two. A Qing Dynasty porcelain jar is depicted on the third stamp. It comes from a set of six about Phoenix depictions in Cultural Relics (issued 29-07-2017). And last but not least is a stamp from a set of five about Astronomical Phenomena (issued 21-06-2020).


Thank You very much Lyons!
