Road Safety in Hong Kong

Two stamps from a cute set of four issued by Hong Kong Post in May of 2026 on the theme of "Road Safety". They are on the official first-day envelope but not first-day postmarked. The image in the postmark is that of the new Hong Kong Post headquarters where the postmark was applied. And below that is a handstamp for the Macau 2026 specialize stamp expo held at the end of June in 2026.

Hong Kong, Year of the Horse

On this cover from Hong Kong is one of the four stamps from the 2026 Year of the Horse issue by Hong Kong Post. The $1 definitive on the left I've seen before but the 50c definitive is new to me. It's from a 2025 set that shows various landmarks around Hong Kong. And on this stamp is the Hakka village of
Lai Chi Wo.

Hong Kong

From the Hong Kong town of Ma On Shan. The stamp on the left shows the small island Po Pin Chau on the eastern edge of Hong Kong. And the two on the right are 2022 stamps from a set commemorating the third anniversary of the ambitious Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Outline Development Plan. The goal is to integrate these cities around the bay into one large business hub. The area already accounts from something like 12% of China's GDP and 37% of the country's exports.
