China: Shanhai Pass

On 28th May I got two postcards: one from China and one from Japan.

The card from China shows the Shanhai Pass. The Shanhai Pass is one of the major passes of the Great Wall and is located at the eastern terminal point of the Ming dynasty Great Wall, where it meets the Bohai Sea. Like the rest of the Great Wall it is since 1987 on the UNESCO World Heritage List. 

The complete about the 70th anniversary of Diplomatic Relations between China and Pakistan (issued 21-05-2021) with its First Day Special Postmark was used on this card. While the Pakistani set is hexagonal, these are shaped like flags or waves. Shown on them are the ports of Zhuhai and Gwadar. The other two stamps show Chinese scenery.


Thank You very much Mo!
