Jinan's springs flow onto four new stamps

A new set of four stamps, Spring of Jinan, was unveiled at the opening of the 20th All-China Philately Exhibition in Jinan, which runs through July 14. The designs capture the city's signature scenery, from Baotu Spring, acclaimed as "the best spring in the world", to its elegant pavilions and tranquil lakes, celebrating the landscapes that have long captivated visitors.

This year's exhibition features 400 works from philatelic associations across China. New designs by emerging stamp artists make up about 88 percent of their display, setting a record. Designers are also on site, sharing the inspiration and craftsmanship behind their creations.
