In April of this year an international stamp exhibition has been held in China, in the city of Luoyang. At the occasion of China 2009, the Chinese postal administration has issued a set of two stamps and a souvenir sheet. I had the pleasure to receive recently a First Day Cover with both stamps from a philatelic contact. Here it is.

A very nice souvenir sheet has also been issued. I recently received it from another philatelic friend in China. It contains a unique and rather large stamp (I think the stamp is around 7 cm high!).

The postmark pictures the logo of the exhibition. A nice souvenir to be added to my collection!
The next important International Stamp exhibition organized by the international federation of philately will be held in May 2010 in London. I plan to go there, and if my blog is still alive at this time, I will for sure tell you all about it!
