My UNESCO WHS List

This blog puts together some of my passions: travelling, especially to UNESCO World Heritage Sites (WHS); philately (collecting stamps); deltiology (collecting postcards); and doing research into TUIs (i.e., totally useless information) of things that interest me. Hence, it catalogues UNESCO WHS that I have been to, stamps showing UNESCO WHS that I have, as well as postcards featuring UNESCO WHS that I have received (i.e., stamped and posted) and maxicards and postal cards (both used or unused).

criteria. Natural

The Qinghai Hoh Xil WHS is located in the province of Qinghai. Part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau system, it is considered the largest and highest plateau in the world. The site has a unique biodiversity, with some one-third of its flora species and all of its herbivorous fauna species being endemic to the region. With its frigid climatic conditions, it has been described as the “Third Pole”, and is also witness to dynamic geomorphological processes.
