Hong Kong is a city where East meets West and where tradition and modernity intertwine, with many historic buildings around. Historic buildings are symbols of our cultural identity and continuity. They also carry various kinds of academic and aesthetic value. At present, there are a total of 134 declared monuments in the territory, which are invaluable and need proper preservation. With a view to fostering the public’s understanding and appreciation of historic buildings in Hong Kong, Hongkong Post presents a set of six special stamps on the theme of “Declared Monuments in Hong Kong II”, as a sequel to the “Declared Monuments in Hong Kong” issue released in 2007. This collection features a delicate watercolour style that highlights the historical beauty of the precious historic monuments.

Cheung Chau Jiao Festival was inscribed onto “the third National List of Intangible Cultural Heritage” in 2011, and “the first Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Hong Kong” in 2017. Held from the 5th to 9th days of the fourth lunar month every year, the activity has been practised for more than a century. Jiao Festival is the time for the Cheung Chau residents to express gratitude to Pak Tai for dispelling disasters and blessing the local community with peace. With residents’ participation every year, the ritual has been preserved and continued. During the Jiao Festival, various folk crafts and folk performing arts of Cheung Chau, such as unicorn dance, gongs and drums and Piu Sik Parade are showcased. Hongkong Post issues a set of special stamps on the theme of “Cheung Chau Jiao Festival” to promote this intangible cultural heritage in Hong Kong, in the hope that this traditional festival and the folk crafts can pass down the generations.
