Giant Panda in three places

Here I would show some Giant Panda (大熊貓) issues from three places - Hongkong, Taiwan and China. Giant Panda is endemic to Sichuan of China, It is a cute animal with white and black colours live in mountain area. Not only in China, the species is very famous in the world and it may be on behalf of China. The World Wild Fund is using Panda be its organisation logo, one reason is the cute image and popular in the world.

Government of China had set up a conservation area in Wolong. Wolong National Natural Reserve is in the west of Sichuan but damaged by earthquake last year, most of Giant Pandas moved to Yaan and now the original reserve area is rebuilding. Above cover was sent from Wolong, Sichuan.

To celebrate 10th anniversary of Hongkong appropriated by China, the central government presented a pair of Giant Panda to Hongkong and they named Ying Ying and Le Le. They live in Ocean Park with An An and Jie Jie, which where also presented by same government ten years ago. Stamps shown four different life photographs of Ying Ying and Le Le.

The central government also presented a pair of Giant Panda to Taiwan, however as many reasons, these two pandas held in Sichuan few years but afterward they travelled to Taiwan last late-December, and they got an ugly name Tuan Tuan and Yuen Yuen and live in The Taipei Zoo, Muzha. Thanks James sent me couple of first day covers of the stamps, those stamps designed in Taiwan, perhaps designer used too much computer effect, stamps look boring and not near natural.
