Hubei Sheng, China
Locality: Shennongjia Forest District; Muyuping; Quinn Jia Ping. [Mistake for Senjiping? Name appears to be wrong in any case (the first word does not fit with any Chinese character); cannot determine the intended locality name with certainty. Valley is unnamed on Google Maps, but is near something labeled "Xiaoping" in addition to "Senjiping".]
