China Post issued special postage stamps on Dec 7 to celebrate the 2022 Winter Olympics, which are designed not in the regular quadrangle shape but feature distinctive octagonal angles and sides.

The two sets, one for the Winter Olympics and the other for the Winter Paralympics to be held in Beijing and neighboring towns, are fashioned in an octagonal shape to resemble the look of a traditional Chinese palace lantern.

The design is set to deliver a festive mood as the Olympic Games will begin on Feb 4, 2022 during the normally week-long celebrations of the Chinese New Year that will fall on Feb 1, 2022.

Each set of two stamps bear official emblems to represent the Games and Olympics volunteers.
