Chinese Lunar Symbols - 2011

These stamps feature images of the animals of the Chinese Lunar New Year. Chinese Lunar New Year is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays with each of the twelve years being represented by a different animal.

It is said that people born in each year have a similar personality to the animal represented. The Lunar New Year is celebrated not only in Asia but in countries worldwide.

These stamps are sure to be popular among collectors and dealers worldwide. With the cordial belateral relation that Papua New Guinea and China continue to enjoy over the years, the Philatelic Bureau of Post PNG views it as an obligatory gesture to feature the Lunar New Year Symbols in it’s 2nd issue of Postage Stamps this year (2011).
