Lung Yuek Tau Heritage Day commemorative cover on sale

A commemorative cover to mark the first major event of the Year of Heritage, Heritage Day in Lung Yuek Tau, has been issued and will be on sale this Tuesday (April 15).

This is the second in a series of special postal items to commemorate the various activities of the Year of Heritage, as well as to raise fund for the Lord Wilson Heritage Trust.

Featuring various major historical monuments in Lung Yuek Tau, the cover bears a HK$1.3 definitive stamp and the date chop of the Post Office. The logo and slogan for the Year of Heritage, "Treasure Our Heritage, Benefit Our Future", is also highlighted.

The cover, at $25 each, will be available at the Heritage Resource Centre of the Antiquities and Monuments Office (AMO) at 136 Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, between 9.30 am and 2.30 pm from Monday to Friday. Each purchase is limited to a maximum of 10 until stock lasts.

A limited stock of the first cover to mark the opening ceremony of the Year of Heritage is still available. "It is certainly meaningful to collect a full set of commemorative covers in memory of the year-round campaign," a spokesman for the AMO said.

Further enquiries can be made at 2721 2326.

The Year of Heritage is jointly organised by the Antiquities Advisory Board, the Lord Wilson Heritage Trust, and the Antiquities and Monuments Office of the Broadcasting, Culture and Sport Branch.
