Salt Well
Mailed in 2013, with stamp and postmark and bilingual Par Avion chop. One perforated edge means this came from a set, and that edge got chewed up during mailing. Grade: 5
-
Mill Bridge
This card was mailed in 2014 and the stamp is there but the postmark is not. Bilingual caption. Grade: 4
-
Shanghai, train art
Mailed in 2014, with large stamp and Shanghai postmark. Grade: 1

Beijing, The Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Palace Museum – UNESCO
Nice, clean card mailed in 2014 with stamp and postmark. Captioned in six languages, including English. The “World Heritage Site of China” attribution is printed on the back. Grade: 1
-
Attendant
In this official card issued by China Post, with pre-printed postage, two extra stamps cover the caption. Everything you need to know is probably on the front of the card. There are two postmarks and assorted other markings. Very busy. Grade: 2
-
Feng Huang
Feng Huang is in Hunan Province and the writer nicely explains this (in English) in the message. Mailed in 2014 with a stamp and clear red postmark. Perforated edge means it came from a set. Grade: 1
-
Beijing, National Stadium
The front of this card is fine. The back has address labels affixed, pre-printed postage, two extra stamps, and two postmarks. Grade: 4
-
Ancient culture (Maximum Cards) (imperfect set of 6)
Sorry for this messy scan but we wanted you to see each card. These are exactly as we got them from China Post. Five of the six are OK, but the one you see on the lower right has a flawed stamp and no postmark. Yet they let it go through. Because of that, the whole set gets a highly reduced price. Grade (because of that one card only): 4
-
China Screen: Tianzifang, Shanghai
We gave up trying to research this novelty card … when we tried to go to the manufacturer’s website, it crashed our computer. And the card is as hard to describe as it was to scan. Think of the coloured area as a two-section film strip, coloured; not like an old-style film negative, but real photos in celluloid. Up close it might seem that each card has a unique photo(s), but we’re not sure about that either. In any case it’s unused and very, very contemporary. Grade: 1
-
Shanghai National AAAA Tourist Attraction
Unused item. It is an official Government (China Post) postcard with pre-printed postage on the side you don’t see — adjoining a QR Code if you are really curious. “SUPEC” is the Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Center. And it does look like it is or was worth RMB30 to get you into something. Grade: 1
-

Shanghai fold-out map of four attached cards
What you see in the scan are three of four cards, all attached to each other se-tenant fashion. It all folds out, and the fourth card is just the natural extension of the other three. Unused. The wrapper (not shown) has two QR Codes that presumably explain more. Grade: 1
-
Temples (set of 2)
These are actual stamps on the fronts. Too bad China Post didn’t go all the way and make them as Maximum Cards, but we don’t always get what we wish for. Unused. Grade: 1
-
Fruits (II) (Maximum Cards) (set of four)
From China National Philatelic Corporation, this set MC-113 of four maximum cards, issued in 2016. Our scan only had room for three of them, plus part of the fourth, and the fruits include apricot, grape, watermelon, and lychee. If you really like fruit postcards, these should fill the bill nicely. Unused. Grade: 1
-
Shanghai Old Views (set of 20)
This is an unopened set measuring 5-1/8″ x 7-3/8″ of 20 postcards. The scan shows you the back of the cardboard cover (still in unsealed plastic film) and therefore we suppose those are thumbnail views of the cards inside. The front of the cover (not shown) is a larger composite view of the Bund and a coy lady, along with some Chinese and English text. Keeping in mind that “old” in Shanghai means “yesterday,” we remind you these are new cards with old views. Grade: 1
-
Military (Maximum Cards) (set of 4)
You see all the cards in the scan, a nice unused set from 2007. Coloured cardboard cover. Two sets are available. Grades: 1
-
70th Anniversary of the Victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (folio)
This item measures about 7-1/4″ x 10-1/4″. What you see in the scan is the cover and the postcard it contains on the inner facing page. On the other facing page, a first-day cover (2015), two stamps but no postmark. Chinese and English text. Grade: 1.
-

Lunar New Year (of the Snake) folio – 2013 (set of 4)
Sorry for the messy scan but we wanted to get as much in it as we could. The item measures about 6″ x 8-1/4″, and the front cover is as you see at the bottom of the photo. Above, the front and the back of two of the similarly themed cards inside. A total of four very brightly coloured and designed cards. Grade: 1
-
McDonald’s – Trust – Hygienic Wash Hands
In the same spirit as some of our other McDonald’s/China entries (see 20307626 as an example), this self-promotional item is labelled (in English) as a postcard so we have no hesitation listing it. Basically it says: trust our hygiene, the staff wash their hands for 20 seconds every hour. The reverse is also blue-coloured, but in postcard format. Unused, from 2015. Grade: 1
-
