Man's Vacation Photo Turns Chinese Riverside Into 'Puppy Mountain'
Huff PostWhen Shanghai-based designer Guo Qingshan posted a vacation photo on Valentine’s Day and captioned it “Puppy Mountain,” it became a sensation in China and even created a tourist destination. When reviewing the photos, he saw something he hadn’t noticed before: A mountain shaped like a dog’s head rested on the ground next to the Yangtze River, its snout perched at the water’s edge. “Just stroke the puppy’s head and then everything will be OK.” Another social media user commented: “We all need the eyes to see the beauty in this world.” Yang Yang, who lives about an hour and half from the location, drove there with her friends and her 2-year-old grey poodle named Yang Keyi. “I always travel with my dog if possible, so Puppy Mountain and my own little dog really match.” The mountain is in Yichang’s Zigui County, where it can be seen from an observation deck.
