Inscribed on the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2016, the "24 solar terms" of the Chinese calendar reflect the change of seasons and meteorological patterns. Following the "24 Solar Terms - Spring" special stamps and "24 Solar Terms - Summer" special stamps issued in 2020 and 2023 respectively, Hongkong Post will issue special stamps themed on "24 Solar Terms - Autumn", featuring six solar terms of autumn, namely "Autumn Commences", "End of Heat", "White Dew", "Autumnal Equinox", "Cold Dew" and "Frost".
The Central Government gifted a pair of giant pandas, Ying Ying and Le Le, to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) in 2007. The pair welcomed a pair of cubs, Jia Jia and De De, on August 15, 2024. The twin cubs have since captured the hearts of the public, who have been keenly following their growth. Hongkong Post will issue special stamps themed on "Giant Panda Twin Cubs" to showcase the highlights of Jia Jia and De De's daily lives at different stages and witness their growth journey.
In Hong Kong, there are many distinctive hiking trails, offering hikers a diverse array of green experiences. Among them, the Wilson Trail is a long-distance hiking trail that begins at Stanley and finishes at Nam Chung in the New Territories, stretching approximately 78 kilometres across Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories. Hongkong Post will issue a set of 10 special stamps themed on "Hong Kong Hiking Trails Series No. 3: Wilson Trail" to feature the gorgeous scenery of various sections along the Wilson Trail.
Hong Kong's airport plays an indispensable role in the successful development of Hong Kong into an international aviation hub. The passenger terminal of Kai Tak Airport was completed and commenced service as early as in the 1960s. In view of the growing demand for air traffic, Kai Tak Airport completed its historical mission in 1998 when Hong Kong International Airport relocated from Kai Tak to Chek Lap Kok. At present, it has developed a three-runway system. Meanwhile, the Government of the HKSAR is pressing ahead with the Airport City development strategy. Hongkong Post will issue a set of special stamps on the theme of "Aviation Development in Hong Kong" to feature the thriving aviation development in the city.
Christmas is a season full of joy, warmth and blessings. As a city embracing both Chinese and Western cultures, Hong Kong showcases a lively festive ambience throughout Christmas. Hongkong Post will issue special stamps on the theme of "Christmas Stamps V", which adopt the night view of Victoria Harbour as the background, showcasing a variety of Christmas elements under the starry sky and highlighting the joy of the festive season.
