China

China 1999-18 ~ Macao's Return to Motherland ~ On December 20, 1999, the Peoples Republic of China resumed the exercise of sovereignty over Macao, marking an end of Macao's long history of separation from the motherland, and washing away the humiliation that the Chinese people had suffered for over four centuries. This was another big event for the Chinese people after Hong Kong's return. Macao will enjoy greater stability and development in the new century under the guidance of the policy of "one country two systems"

There are many beautiful places to visit, such as Lake Toba in Sumatra, Tana Toraja in Sulawesi, or an adventure to see the "one horn" Javanese Rhino (Rhinoceros sandalicus) in Ujung Kulon National Park, West Java. Visit the Borobudur Buddhis Temple, one of the Unesco WHS in Yogyakarta, or see the famous Dragon Komodo (Varanus komodoensis) well known as the largest lizard in the world. Or even hick and climb Jayakesuma peak (Carstenz Pyramid) 4884 m, one of the Seven Summit mountains in the snowy Jayawijaya highlands, Papua, or another adventure to the hinterlands of Kalimantan island, and last but not least see the exotic Bali island.

You can see all those beautiful places, wildlife, people, art and culture in many Indonesian stamps, so just send me a mail and we can exchange covers, stamps or postcards.
