July Alt RR #1 - PRO And now I’m caught back up with PotD. :)

Today’s card was received this month as part of the July Alternative Round Robin #1 on the Postcrossing Forums. This card came from participant #19, Pro, from China. The caption on it reads “Wulingyuan Scenery – Warrior Training a Horse.” Pro also mentioned on the card that this is a UNESCO site in his country.

It’s absolutely breathtaking – although I imagine if there is a lookout point from where this photo was taken, I’d never manage to get close to it with my horrible fear of heights!  My husband commented that it looks like something out of the movie Avatar.  I think he’s pretty close!

From Wikipedia on the area:

Wulingyuan (Chinese: 武陵源; pinyin: Wǔlíng Yuán) is a scenic and historic interest area in Hunan Province, China, famous for its approximately 3,100 tall quartzite sandstone pillars, some over 800 meters in height, which are a kind of karst formation. It is part of Zhangjiajie city, about 270km from the capital of Hunan Province, Changsha. It lies between the coordinates of 29°16′0″N 110°22′0″ECoordinates: 29°16′0″N 110°22′0″E and 29°24′0″N 110°41′0″E. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992. Wulingyuan forms part of the Wuling Range.
