​Hongkong Post announced today (November 4) that a set of special stamps and associated philatelic products on the theme of "Hong Kong Landscape – 10 Natural Wonders" will be released for sale on November 19 (Tuesday).
Compact as it may be, Hong Kong possesses a diverse and vibrant array of natural landscapes. As a continuation of the "Hong Kong Landscape" stamp series, Hongkong Post will issue a set of eight stamps, two stamp sheetlets and associated philatelic products on the theme of "Hong Kong Landscape – 10 Natural Wonders".
This collection is based on the online voting results from the Top 10 Natural Wonders of Hong Kong organised by the Hong Kong Chronicles Institute in 2023. The most representative Top 10 Natural Wonders of Hong Kong were selected by voters from five categories of natural landscapes, namely mountains, waters, rocks, villages and islands. This set of special stamps showcases the exquisite natural beauty of Hong Kong and encourages the public to appreciate and cherish the local natural scenery.
Official first day covers for "Hong Kong Landscape – 10 Natural Wonders" will be on sale at all post offices and on Hongkong Post's online shopping mall ShopThruPost (shopthrupost.hongkongpost.hk) from tomorrow (November 5). This set of special stamps and associated philatelic products will be on sale at all post offices and on ShopThruPost from November 19, while postage prepaid picture cards (air mail) and serviced first day covers affixed with the special stamps will be available at philatelic offices only.
A hand-back date-stamping service will be provided on November 19 at all post offices for official first day covers/souvenir covers/privately made covers bearing the first day of issue indication and a local address.
Information about this set of special stamps and associated philatelic products is available on the Hongkong Post Stamps website (stamps.hongkongpost.hk).
