Oito Novas Paisagens de Macau (Maximum Cards) (set of 8) (Macau)
The title, captioned in Portuguese and Chinese, translates as “Eight new landscapes of Macau,” and indeed they are. This is a desirable set, CTT’s BPL 248-255, and our scan shows four of the eight views. Because this is a bit more substantial than some other sets, we will list what’s on each card here: Colina de Penha, Dois Lagos e Uma Torre, Largo do Senado, Long Chao Kok, Vila de Pescadores de Coloane, Travesa da Paixao, Rua de Felicidade, and — spectacularly — Ponte Hong Kong – Zhuhai – Macau, one of the world’s longest bridges and utterly unthinkable not so long ago. Issued in 2019, at last something from Macau other than ancient art. Grade: 1
