Three China cards from a friend

A friend of mine sent me some cards from his vacation in China. Here are two cards from Hainan:



Haikou Shishan Crater Cluster National Geological Park


And a beautiful card from Beijing:
Old Summer Palace.

Ma Gao Temple

Pagode da Barra
Ma Gao Temple A Temple founded 500 years ago is dedicated to the Goddess of Sea - Ma Gao. A legend tells that the first Portuguese arrival when asking for the name of he place was misunderstood by the locals for the name of the temple/ The city was hence named "Macao" after the name of the temple "Macao".

That's what the card says:)) The person who sent it also wrote that the fishermen often go to this temple as the Goddess Ma Gao is said to protect them and bless with a good catch.

The stamps on this card are simply gorgeous.
