| Description: | Postage stamps are used as vouchers for postal services and also a microcosm of local culture and history. Hong Kong began its postal services and issued its first postage stamps in the 19th century. As times change, the design of definitive stamps began to incorporate local themes, presenting style that harmonizes Eastern and Western cultures. Furthermore, Hong Kong also issued different sets of commemorative stamps to highlight major events and local characteristics. An exhibition on documents related to Hong Kong stamps is held in the Hong Kong Central Library. Readers can gain more insights into its development and characteristics. This document display is also one of the activities in the Chinese Culture Promotion Series. The LCSD has long been promoting Chinese history and culture through organizing an array of programmes and activities to enable the public to learn more about the broad and profound Chinese culture.
