CN-GD-56193

A commemorative postcard on 2008 Olympic Games Touch Relay in Guilin (桂林) on 6.6.2008. Although the date was schedule on 4.6.2009, it was delay due to national day of mourning the victims of 2008 Sichuan Earthquake. A red colored square box was stamped on the bottom for the update. It shows the river scenery of Lijiang River (灕江) near Guilin, with a traditional water transport. Thanks semper_fi.














This postcard has a pre-printed 80 Fen "Dancing Beijing" stamp. Additional stamps added are two 1.20 Yuan new year drawing (2008-2, 4-4), a 80 Fen greetings stamp and a 60 Fen environmental definitive stamp. Altogether, the postage paid for sending this postcard is 4.60 Yuan. It was sent from Guangxi Yangshuo Gaotian 1 (广西 阳朔 高田 1) 0n 11.6.2009. Apparently, the stamps were not cancelled. So, when it arrived at Guilin, the stamps were cancelled with Guangxi Guilin Guoji 1 (广西 桂林 国际 1) postmark. "Guoji" means international.
