CN-P31

This postcard shows the Yanyulou (烟雨楼) or "Tower of Mist and Rain" on the Green Lotus Island (青莲岛) in Chengde (承德). It is part of the former imperial resort. This building is a replicate of a building in Nanhu Lake, Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province (浙江 嘉兴 南胡) with the same name. The resort is part of the UNESCO World Heritage site under the name "Mountain Resort and its Outlying Temples, Chengde". Thanks Nommy.















A 3 Yuan gold-margin greeting stamp was used to send this postcard on 6.8.2009. Another neat postmark. This time from Shanghai Anshanlu 16 (上海 鞍山路 16).
