Hongkong Post is issuing a set of special stamps with Hong Kong’s shopping streets as their theme, together with associated philatelic products.
The six stamps introduce shopping streets with a special local history and culture – in Mong Kok, shops in the Goldfish Market and others in the Flower Market; Chinese Medicine Street in Sheung Wan, which is more than a century old; Yau Ma Tei’s Jade Market; the wholesalers in Kitchenware Street; and the Yau Ma Tei Wholesale Fruit Market.
The official first-day covers are available now at all post offices, while the stamps and associated products will be displayed at the General Post Office, Tsim Sha Tsui Post Office, Tsuen Wan Post Office, Sha Tin Central Post Office and Tuen Mun Central Post Office.
