Stamp Sheetlet to Be Issued to Commemorate HK's Participation in Asian Stamp Exhibition
Adjust font size:

A stamp sheetlet to commemorate Hong Kong Post's participation in the 20th Asian International Stamp Exhibition will be released on Aug. 3, Postmaster General of Hong Kong Tam Wing-pong announced on Monday.

The Asian International Stamp Exhibition is an international philatelic event held in Bangkok, Thailand from Aug. 3 to 12.

The design of this sheetlet evolves from an oil painting depicting distinctive features of Hong Kong and Thailand. Time-honored modes of transport for commuters in Hong Kong are presented side by side with Thailand's venerated white elephant, Guardian God and the smiling Buddha. In contrast with the white flowing lines, shades of bright blue add a rich texture to the design.
