Hongkong Post announces sale of philatelic products of various postal administrations
Hongkong Post announced today (April 29) that selected philatelic products issued by China Post, Macao Post and Telecommunications and the postal administrations of Australia, Isle of Man, Liechtenstein, New Zealand and the United Nations will be available for sale from tomorrow (April 30).
To celebrate the Year of the Dragon, China Post issued the "Year of Jiachen" special stamps. The stamp titled "Golden Dragon Flying Forward" depicts a high-spirited golden dragon wriggling agilely with majesty. The other stamp named "Two Dragons Offering Blessings" is based on a Chinese traditional auspicious pattern. The round and square elements of the stamp and design embodied the concept of "heaven is round and the earth is square" and achieved a harmonious and solemn aesthetic. In addition, postal administrations around the world also continue the tradition of issuing zodiac stamps to welcome the Year of the Dragon. Liechtensteinische Post AG issued a set of stamps on "Chinese Signs of the Zodiac: Dragon" emphasising the elegance and vitality of the dragon. Isle of Man Post Office presented "Year of the Dragon" stamps on the theme of the legend of four dragons, symbolising good fortune and prosperity. These stamps highlight various depictions of dragons, which are highly collectible.
Annual albums released by various postal administrations will also be put on sale concurrently. The stamp albums, comprising a rich collection of special stamps issued in 2023 with descriptions and illustrations, are not to be missed by philatelists.
The selected philatelic products will be available for sale at the Hongkong Post online shopping mall ShopThruPost (shopthrupost.hongkongpost.hk) starting from 9am tomorrow, while stocks last. These products will also be available at the PostShop of the General Post Office, Tsim Sha Tsui Post Office and Sha Tin Central Post Office on the same day. Details of each product, the prices and sales quotas are set out in the Appendix.
