Macao (2009)

17th August, 2009. Coloane

Few weeks ago, I had a day trip to Macao and then go Zhongshan for one night. Actually I only stayed in Coloane but no other places as I have been visited there many times. Of course I didn't forget to send letter for myself during visiting. Most of stamps after 1999 are selling in post offices normally, they are attractive for tourist and have rich historian value, I selected two sets for the mails, they are traditional instruments and heritage sites of Macao respectively.

The first one features 4 traditional instruments issued on 2009, those instruments are important tools of different workshops, nowadays some of them still in used in produce mooncake or refuse sharpen knife. Another issue released on 2005 to celebrate Macao's heritage city area listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site successfully, the area includes more than 20 buildings and plazas, their different styles came from Chinese, Portuguese, Indian and Arabic. In 2008, a set of definitive stamps features 8 sights issued by post office and it has been shown here.

Unfortunately, until now Macao doesn't produce any animal or bird stamps after 1999. So pity that here will not have any new cover can be shown in short period.

2,00 ptcs. : Casa da Cheang (鄭家大屋) ; 3,50 ptcs : Teatro de Pedro V (伯多祿五世劇院)
1,50 ptcs. : Seminário e Igreja de São José (聖若瑟修院大樓及聖堂)
1,00 ptc. : Templo de A-Má (媽閣廟) ; 8,00 ptcs. : Ruínas de São Paulo (大三巴牌坊)
