The second set on Hong Kong's culture and history is now released, presenting treasures from the Hong Kong Heritage Museum, the Hong Kong Museum of History, the Hong Kong Museum of Art, and the Dr & Mrs Hung Hin Shiu Museum of Chinese Medicine at Hong Kong Baptist University. This set of six stamps showcases six traditional articles, taking you on a trip down memory lane to savour a taste of life back then.
Official First Day Covers will be put on sale for $1 each at all post offices from November 22. Stamps and associated philatelic products will be displayed at the General Post Office, Tsim Sha Tsui Post Office, Tsuen Wan Post Office and Sha Tin Central Post Office from the same day.
