A stamp sheetlet to commemorate Hong Kong Post's participation
in the 20th Asian International Stamp Exhibition will be released
on Aug. 3, Postmaster General of Hong Kong Tam Wing-pong
announced?on Monday.
The Asian International Stamp Exhibition is an international
philatelic event held in Bangkok, Thailand from Aug. 3 to 12.
The design of this sheetlet evolves from an oil painting
depicting distinctive features of Hong Kong and Thailand.
Time-honored modes of transport for commuters in Hong Kong are
presented side by side with Thailand's venerated white elephant,
Guardian God and the smiling Buddha. In contrast with the white
flowing lines, shades of bright blue add a rich texture to the
design.
