Suzhou, Han Shan Temple
Taste in art and postcards are subjective but of the many thousands we have, this is one of our favourites. A modern, unused card, so atmospheric; and having been to this temple we can say the card is better than the real thing.

Code: 20307052
Price: $3.00

It’s generous to describe this as the glow of the setting sun, but that’s what the caption says. Unused 1970s card, no damage. Grade: 2
