50th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relations Between China and Spain

The stamps, showing wetland habitats in Spain and China, are from a 2023 joint issue with Spain commemorating 50 years of diplomatic relations between the two countries. The stamps with the flamingos show an image of Fuente de Piedra Lagoon in Spain. The other two stamps show an image from Hengshui Lake: the second largest fresh water lake in northern China. This was sent from the city of Suzhou. It's canals, gardens and bridges have earned it the name"Venice of the East". Suzhou is a large city with a population of over 12 million in its metro region.
