Mountain Of The Week (2)

Here’s one for those who have a tendency to spot something in a natural formation.

A mountain in the Yichang Zigui county in the Hubei province of central China has recently become a social media sensation and a destination for dedicated cynophiles because of its uncanny resemblance to a dog.

It looks very much like a dog’s head resting on the ground next to the Yangtze River, with its snout perched in the water. It could be taking a drink of water or, perhaps, looking at the fish or protecting the river.

It has now been dubbed Xiaogoushan which is Chinese for puppy mountain.

An interesting example of pareidolia for sure.
