Mother panda and cub in Beijing Zoo. A flagship animal in conservation and also representating China. Thanks Ya for this panda thematic postcard and stamp plus the postmarks.















The Mainland Chinese postcard was sent from Taiwan. Using a recently issue panda stamp (NT$9) and a definitive bird stamp (NT$1), they were stamped using a panda pictorial postmark stamp commemorating the shifting of Yuanlin Sanqiao (員林三橋) Post Office on 16.2.98 (Republic Year 98 = 2009). This postmark stamp was used by Changhua (彰化) Temporary Post Office.

Another previously issued pictorial postmark, commemorating the officially exhibiting of giant pandas, Duan Duan and Yuan Yuan, was used to stamp on a NT$0.50 bird definitive stamp. It is stamped by Taipei Temporary Post Office on 20.1.98 (98 =Year 2009).
