CN-P96

Another postcard showing 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 a 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 Lethe.















It was sent with a pair of 1.50 Yuan stamps on Macau returning to China (2009-30, 3-3). They were cancelled at Fuzhou Hualin 4 (福州 华林 4) on 20.4.201(?).
