In 2016, the Macau Post issued two sets of Chinese painting stamps, which was unusual since both of them share similar audience (me :), for example). The additional postage was paid by using e-stamps, which has become a hot collecting topic among Macau stamp collectors. The Macau Post issues a Zodiac e-stamp every year with limited quantities and they have been sold out quickly and older issues on covers are highly sought-after.

Local artist, Lok Hei, painted this Chinese traditional scroll painting. Here is the introduction published by Macao Post: the painting “illustrates in image form about the rich Chinese and Western culture with long history that meet at Macao, and affect each other creatively. The people come together and dedicate themselves in promoting the political, economic and cultural development of Macao; the joy of returning to the motherland and the new appearance of the special administrative region, etc. Lok Hei is the first person to create this kind of drawing in Macao’s art history.”
