Yuen Long Post Office
51-53 Sau Fu Street, Yuen Long, New Territories
"This will bring the total number of philatelic offices to 19," said Mr Footman.
"By extending the philatelic network, we aim to better serve the stamp collectors."
The existing eight philatelic offices are at the General Post Office, the Harcourt Road Post Office, the Peak Post Office, the Tsim Sha Tsui Post Office, the Granville Road Post Office, the Sha Tin Central Post Office, the Tsuen Wan Post Office and the Airport Post Office.
Stamps and philatelic products of Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia and Singapore as well as selected philatelic products of China, Australia and United States Postal Service will be available for sale at these new offices.
The philatelic pictorial datestamp for each new philatelic office incorporates the usual Philatelic Bureau 'Junk' design and individual office code. They will be used for cancellation of souvenir covers and mail items posted in the special posting boxes in these offices.
A hand-back service applying the pictorial datestamps will be provided on November 1 at these 11 philatelic offices for any locally addressed covers bearing the 'First Day' indication.
