Victoria Harbour is a world-famous natural harbour recognised as an icon of Hong Kong. The Government and the Harbourfront Commission have been committed to enhancing the harbourfront of Victoria Harbour in the past 20 years, with a view to creating an attractive, vibrant, accessible and sustainable harbourfront. Hongkong Post releases a set of special stamps under the theme “Victoria Harbour Promenades”, which features the scenic waterfronts on both sides of the Harbour.  The stamps showcase the stunning harbour views by day and night and highlight the achievements in enhancing the promenades, thereby encouraging the public to appreciate and enjoy the quality and diversified harbourfront spaces.

The Fuyun Xuan  Collection is a private collection of Chinese snuff bottles established by the  late local collector Mr Christopher Sin.   His wife, Mrs Josephine Sin, has donated 490 sets of Chinese snuff  bottles to the Hong Kong Museum of Art as a permanent collection, making these  cultural gems accessible to a wider public.   The small and delicate snuff bottle covers a wide range of  craftsmanship, serving as a miniature embodiment of Chinese art and craft  history. Hongkong Post is continuing its Hong Kong Museums Collection series by  issuing a set of six stamps and two stamp sheetlets on the theme of "Hong Kong  Museums Collection – Fuyun Xuan Collection of Chinese Snuff Bottles" to present  selected Chinese snuff bottles from the collection of Fuyun Xuan Collection.  The selection encompasses various designs and  materials that include glass, rock crystal, lacquer, and ceramics, showcasing  the exquisite craftsmanship and creativity of Chinese artisans in the small and  delicate snuff bottles.
