This year coincides with the 140th anniversary of the birth of the first set of stamps issued by China, the Dalong Stamps, which is an important symbol of the founding of China's modern postal service.
From today to the 26th of this month, Shanghai Post Will open a Dalong-themed post office in the business hall on the 2nd floor of No. 395 Tiantong Road. The pillars, display cases and floors of the dragon theme will all present the scene of the dragon coiling, and coming to the post office is like being in the dragon world of soaring clouds and driving fog.
In addition, the theme post office also exhibits Dalong-themed stamps, where you can not only see the true face of Dalong stamps, but also enjoy the few surviving Qing Dynasty dragon-related stamps, such as "1885 Little Dragon Hair Teeth", "1888 Little Dragon Light Teeth", "1894 Longevity" and other precious stamps.
