“Aviation Development in Hong Kong” Special Stamps

“Aviation Development in Hong Kong” Special Stamps

Date of Issue: 2025/10/21

Hong Kong’s airport plays an indispensable role in the successful development of Hong Kong into an international aviation hub. The first recorded flight at Kai Tak took place 100 years ago. Kai Tak later evolved into an airport and the passenger terminal of Kai Tak Airport was completed and commenced service in the 1960s. Though operating only with one single runway, Kai Tak Airport had become one of the busiest airports in the world by the 1990s. For long-term development, Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) was relocated to Chek Lap Kok in 1998 and has since gradually expanded to have a dual-runway and now a three-runway system. Moreover, the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and Airport Authority Hong Kong are pressing ahead with the “Airport City” development strategy, under which HKIA will be transformed into a node of various economic activities. Hongkong Post issues a set of special stamps on the theme of “Aviation Development in Hong Kong” to feature the thriving aviation development in the city.

“Giant Panda Twin Cubs” Special Stamps

“Giant Panda Twin Cubs” Special Stamps

Date of Issue: 2025/08/15

The Central Government gifted a pair of giant pandas, Ying Ying and Le Le, to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) in 2007. The pair welcomed a pigeon pair of cubs on 15 August 2024. The twin cubs are the first-ever giant pandas successfully bred and born in Hong Kong and Ying Ying is the world’s oldest first-time giant panda mother. Their birth is especially meaningful as it helps advance the conservation and breeding efforts for giant pandas in Hong Kong. The twin cubs have since captured the hearts of the public, who have been keenly following their growth. On 27 May 2025, they received their official names Jia Jia (Elder Sister) and De De (Little Brother). Hongkong Post issues special stamps themed on “Giant Panda Twin Cubs” to showcase the highlights of their daily lives at different stages and witness their growth journey.
