Postcrossing 3: The Final Frontier

Yet another postcrossing card today, this one from China.


According to the sender, it's a "maximum card" (possibly something lost in translation there, but what am I supposed to do? Criticise them by showing off my grasp of Mandarin?) of "so-called Shangri-La".

According to my extensive research (i.e Wikipedia) there's actually several places that claim to be the real-life Shangri-La, some of which are in China. I think I'd probably better not go there on the whole question of whether the places that are in Tibet count as being in China.

I'll blu-tac it to my wall, next to the one I got from Japan, to see if they start a border dispute with each other.
