Speaking of the "top" stars in Beijing Zoo, we have to mention the giant panda Meng Lan, known as the "Third Prince of Xizhimen". On April 4, a pop-up shop full of panda elements was set up at the post office on Xiwai Street near the Beijing Zoo.
【Commentary】There are a number of cute panda dolls with different shapes, some lying on bamboo, others wearing bunny hats. There has been a long queue in front of the counters of panda-related philatelic products, and many people are shopping.

He often takes children to the zoo to see pandas, and he also likes giant pandas. Panda is the national treasure of the country, now Yaya is coming back from the United States soon, to get out of the panda (postage) machine stamp is also very concerned about, quite concerned, buy (postage) machine stamp, is to send to friends.
【Commentary】The main picture of the newly launched special version of the postage machine postage machine is a picture of a mother and son panda, with the panda mother holding the baby panda in her arms, and her tender eyes are full of infinite love. The design of Hanfu Panda postage machine promotional stamp and the same series of cover products is more Chinese charm.
【At the same time】"Giant Panda" postage machine promotional stamp designer Ding Linxuan
The first product we designed this time is the national version of the panda's color postage machine publicity stamp, which can be used in post offices across the country. This (postage machine) promotional stamp includes a commemorative cover and a postcard of the same type. This (postage machine) promotional stamp is actually a panda mother holding a baby panda, and the theme is called "love care". This (postage machine) promotional stamp, which actually inherits the monochrome postage machine promotional stamp of the previous 2018 (World) Rare Animal Protection Day, is an upgraded version.
【Contemporaneous】Philatelic enthusiast Mr. Zhang
I think these two models today are a good combination of panda and cultural characteristics. One is similar to the image design like Nezhao, and the other panda is wearing our traditional Hanfu, so these two (postage) machine stamps are very characteristic of traditional Chinese culture, so that everyone can learn more about traditional Chinese culture while liking pandas.
【Commentary】In addition to special covers, postcards, and stamps for postage machine stamps, there are also various panda coins, panda key chains and other cultural and creative products on site for stamp collectors and panda lovers to purchase. The campaign starts on April 4 for a period of three months, and the "Giant Panda" postage machine promotional stamp is valid from April 27, 2023 to April 4, 27.
