     The overseas philatelic products to be available for sale are diverse in themes, covering scenic spots and historic sites, famous movie characters and actors, as well as arts and culture. In China Post's "Dongting Lake", oil painting techniques were deployed to depict the beautiful landscape around the Dongting Lake. Macao Post and Telecommunications Bureau's "400th Anniversary of the Chapel of Our Lady of Penha" brings forth the unique architectural style and the spire-style clock tower of the Chapel. Australia, being home to many alluring and diverse natural landscapes, presents "Aerial Views", which showcases Australia's world heritage sites. "150 Years of the Feldkirch-Schaan-Buchs Railway Line" issued by Liechtensteinische Post AG will be a perfect gift for train enthusiasts.

     Royal Mail's "Transformers" captures the courageous Autobots and the devious Decepticons locked in battle. Each stamp is printed with invisible ink that reveals each character's faction logo and name under UV light. New Zealand Post's "2022 The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers 20th Anniversary" and Isle of Man Post Office's "David Bowie: Actor" are not to be missed by movie fans.

     For art lovers, "Princely Treasures - Palaces and Castles" issued by Liechtensteinische Post AG and "Vintage Travel Posters" issued by Canada Post are must-have collectibles. As Christmas is approaching, "Christmas 2022" issued by Australia Post and "Greetings Winter" issued by Japan Post extend warm regards to all in this winter season.
