Many in Guangzhou flocked to the post office for the stamps, queueing up before doors opened, as sales were limited to just one stamp per person.
The prototype of the design is a ram, and the whole pattern looks like a circle. Patterns of flowing clouds and ripples, tangled branches and flowers, such as peony and lotus, all symbolizing good fortune, appear on its body and horn. There will be a seven-day zodiac stamp collection exhibition.
All stamps of the zodiac series issued in the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Macao will be on display.
