When 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 Shanghai-based designer Guo Qingshan went on a hike in late January, he didn’t release he was capturing a natural wonder. The mountain he captured was shaped like a puppy’s head, overlooking the Yangtze River.

The mountain, which viewers say resembles a dog's head, lies along the Yangtze River - the longest in China and the third-longest in the world - and can be viewed from an observation deck.
