JP - 2305349 @ Shinkyo, The Sacred Bridge ( UNESCO WHS )

opened since 1904, 28 meters long and nearly eight meters wide, this beautiful, vermilion-lacquered Shinkyo Bridge sits at the entrance to the Nikko mountains. According to legend, Buddhist monk Shodo, the first head priest of Nikko, asked the mountain deities for help crossing the Daiya River, at which point two snakes appeared and transformed into a bridge. The bridge belongs to Nikko Futarasan-jinja Shrine and was designated as World Heritage site in 1999.

Thank you so much Yukiko for sending me this WHS Postcard with beautiful neat stamps:)

The Great Wall of China

The Great Wall was continuously built from the 3rd century BC to the 17th century AD on the northern border of the country as the great military defence project of successive Chinese Empires, with a total length of more than 20,000 kilometers. The Great Wall begins in the east at Shanhaiguan in Hebei province and ends at Jiayuguan in Gansu province to the west. Its main body consists of walls, horse tracks, watch towers, and shelters on the wall, and includes fortresses and passes along the Wall.

The Great Wall reflects collision and exchanges between agricultural civilizations and nomadic civilizations in ancient China. It provides significant physical evidence of the far-sighted political strategic thinking and mighty military and national defence forces of central empires in ancient China, and is an outstanding example of the superb military architecture, technology and art of ancient China. It embodies unparalleled significance as the national symbol for safeguarding the security of the country and its people.

The Humor Monastery - Romania.

The Assumption of the Virgin and of Saint George's Church.

The Humor Monastery is one of the oldest and most famous holy places in Bucovina, surrounded by a lively village that has protected it for 500 years. That's how they came into existence. First the monastery, then the village. Located on the ridge of a hill with trees and meadows, in a landscape of overwhelming beauty, it is one of the greatest attractions of this corner of the country. The monastery is a jewel in itself, a fresco of the Romanian spiritual world, one of the most important monasteries of the Moldavian Middle Ages, included for its cultural and spiritual value in the UNESCO World Heritage.
