Hangchow, West Lake, Taukwong Temple
We are guessing the writer of this card, mailed in the USA in 1925 with a one-cent stamp and full Pennsylvania postmark, was a Catholic nun who was either in transit or who got the card out of the country somehow for mailing. Grade: 3

Code: 20307169
Price: $7.00
Wuhan University
A card mailed in 2009 with stamp and full postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 20307171
Price: $5.00
The West Lake
The writer took care to load up the reverse with four different, large, and colourful commemorative stamps plus a blue bilingual airmail sticker. There are three postmarks, the card is in good condition, and it’s worth the cost. Grade: 1

Code: 20307172
Price: $9.00
Train
When we get around to it, we’ll check the Chinese caption on the reverse to see where this actually is in China, but for now we just focus on the railroad. Card was mailed from Hong Kong (not yet China) in 1979, with stamp and its colourful margin strip, and completely full Hong Kong postmark, as well as blue tri-lingual airmail sticker affixed. Grade: 3

Code: 20307174
Price: $3.00
Shanghai, The Bund
One of the most famous riverfronts in the world, on a card from the late 1970s mailed with four brilliant different stamps and two full postmarks. Rapidly becoming a vintage Chinese postcard! Grade: 1

Code: 20307175
Price: $18.00
Kwangchow, Bird’s-eye view
In the 1970s, when China was opening up, Canton was becoming Kwangchow, on its way to becoming Guangzhou now. You may know–and if you don’t, just trust us–that the city doesn’t look at all like this now. Of course, neither does any other city in China. Two of these cards are available, each with a stamp and different postmark. Grades: 1

Code: 20307176
Price: $11.00
Kweilin, Green pinnacles by the river
Kweilin has developed as a tourist area but this card predates all the glitz and kitsch. Mailed in 1978, the card is captioned in three languages, of which one is English and two are Arabic script. The stamp is there, and full postmark. Postal marking on the front. Grade: 2

Code: 20307177
Price: $9.50

Beijing area, forestry development
We’re not sure of this either–should have spent more time learning to read Chinese captions–but we think it is something connected with forestry. Unused. Stain on upper border. Grade: 3

Code: 20307189
Price: $2.00
Beijing, expressway interchange
Unused card. If you read Chinese, the caption will tell you all you want to know. Grade: 1

Code: 20307190

Code: 20307195
Price: $4.00
The Postcard of Old Canton (folio)
