Beautiful peonies in spring, that is the title for this postcard. A similar design 80 Fen greetings stamp was affixed at the upper left corner and tided with postmark from temporary counter. It is postmark from Henan Luoyang Linshiyouju 40 (河南 洛阳 临时邮局 40). "Linshiyouju" is temporary post office in Chinese. Why temporary? Will answer after this.














Additional stamps affixed at the back of the postcard. They are 80 Fen flower greetings stamp with the same design and a 2.90 Yuan panda (1995-25, 2-2) stamps. Therefore, this postcard was sent by international airmail postcard rate (4.50 Yuan). The same postmark was applied here too on 11.4.2009.














Two additional commemorative postmarks on the postcard. One was the commemorative postmark for the China 2009 World Stamp Exhibition at Luoyang Museum from 10 to 16 April 2009 (top) and the other was for that particular day, Youth and Teenager Activity Day on 11.4.2009 (bottom). This card was sent from temporary post office in the Stamp Exhibition. This is the answer why postmark with temporary counter used. Thanks kaigelee.
