Hangzhou, Hong Kong handover basket

Hangzhou, Hong Kong handover basket

In the runup to the handover of Hong Kong back to China in 1997, celebrations and festivities took place all over the country.  This basket, showing Hong Kong’s symbolic Bauhinia flower, was in Hangzhou.  We think.  The card was mailed much later, from Shenzhen, using a postage meter.  Grade: 1
