Puerto-Princesa Subterranean River National Park

This postcard from Philippines was sent by Jan, who has a great blog of UNESCO postcards, it it shows one of the new seven wonders of nature.

Puerto Princesa Subterranean National Park

This park features a spectacular limestone karst landscape with an underground river. One of the river's distinguishing features is that it emerges directly into the sea, and its lower portion is subject to tidal influences. The area also represents a significant habitat for biodiversity conservation. The site contains a full 'mountain-to-sea' ecosystem and has some of the most important forests in Asia. - in: http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/652
