A postcard with three lions roaring in unison (起吼三狮) of the Lugou Bridge (卢沟桥 or more famously known as Marco Polo Bridge). It is also the site famous for the starting of Sino-Japanese War in 1937 in the Marco Polo Bridgee Incident. Thanks Kirsti for sending this postcard she bought during her trip to Beijing.




















This postcard was sent from Macau inside an envelope. The postage (MOP$11.00) was paid using postage meter from Areia Preta (黑沙環) on 24.11.2009. The white rectangular shade at the lower right is purposely used to cover sender's address.














Another part of postage meter is shown at the back of this envelope with promoting philatelic subcription label. As it was sent with other gifts inside, a green custom label is sticked at the back. A blue square "Dilepaskan" (Released) mark of Malaysian Custom was stamped on 30.11.2009.
