Hong Kong, Asia's world city, has long been hailed as the "Pearl of the Orient" that boasts a bustling and vibrant cityscape, and magnificent and breathtaking night views. To promote Hong Kong's stunning beauty at night, Hongkong Post issues a set of four special stamps entitled "Hong Kong by Night II", which captures charming night scenes of the city from different perspectives.
$2 Stamp - Apliu Street and Kweilin Street in Sham Shui Po. The district is characterized by its busy trading activities and bustling bazaars that brim with a strong local flavor.
$3.7 Stamp - Central glowing in the dark, adorned by magical and surreal light trails for added vibrancy
$4.9 Stamp - "Monster Building", a housing complex in Quarry Bay comprised of five conjoined old building. These composite buildings, commonly found in the olden days, house both shops and residential flats. After nightfall, household lights dot the buildings to paint a deeply nostalgic picture of Hong Kong
$5 Stamp - Tian Tan Buddha, commonly known as the Big Buddha, sitting peacefully at night. It provides an oasis of tranquility and serenity amid the hustle and bustle of this popular tourist attraction in the daytime.
