Green scene: The Suzhou Master-of-Nets Garden stamp sheetlet will be available from June 27.

The second batch of Mainland Scenery stamps will be issued on June 27.

The sheetlet depicts the Master-of-Nets Garden, which is a World Heritage site in Suzhou. A new $10 stamp will be included.

The classic gardening landscapes of Suzhou show that man and nature can exist in perfect harmony. Together with the Humble Administrators' Garden, the Lingering Garden and the Mountain Villa With Embracing Beauty, the Master-of-Nets Garden was put on the UNESCO's World Heritage List in 1997.

The stamp sheetlet is designed by Arde Lam and printed in stochastic lithography, with one colour printing on the gum by Joh Enschede Security Printers in the Netherlands.

The stamps will be displayed at the General, Tsim Sha Tsui, Tsuen Wan and Sha Tin Central Post Offices from May 22.

Official First Day Covers at $1 each will go on sale at all post offices on June 6. Advance orders for servicing self-provided souvenir covers will be accepted at all post offices from June 6 to 12.

The GPO-1 postmark, the 'Philatelic Bureau' pictorial postmark and the philatelic office pictorial postmarks will also be available for hand-back service at all philatelic offices on that day.

All post offices will open as normal on June 27. The public hall of the Hongkong Post Philatelic Bureau will also open from 9am to 5pm for date-stamping covers with the Philatelic Bureau pictorial postmark, the GPO-1 postmark and the special postmark.
