70th Anniversary of the People's Republic of China on registered cover from Hong Kong

Hongkong Post issued a set of four special stamps and a stamp sheetlet on the theme "70th Anniversary of the Founding of the People's Republic of China". On this cover you can see souvenir sheet from that set released on 1.10.2019. The founding of the People's Republic of China was formally proclaimed by Mao Zedong, the Chairman of the Communist Party of China, on 1 October 1949 at 3:00 pm in Tiananmen Square in Beijing, the new capital (Nanking had been the capital of the former Republic of China). The first public parade of the then new People's Liberation Army took place there, following the chairman's address of the formal foundation of the new republic.


Thank you, Li Ming!

Hong Kong: Victoria Harbour

This is my first postcard from Hong Kong! This is view of Victoria Harbour, natural landform harbour situated between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon in Hong Kong. The harbour's deep, sheltered waters and strategic location on the South China Sea were instrumental in Hong Kong's establishment as a British colony and its subsequent development as a trading centre.

This very nice stamp is Scientists in Ancient China: Guo Shoujing and simplified armilla, issued on 08.12.2015.


Thank you Cherry!
