Dear Ian Tanner,
You are right. 2007 is a year of Ding Hai in traditional Chinese
calendar and also a year of the pig. The State Post Bureau of China
issued a one-piece set of special stamp, entitled "The year of Ding
Hai ", with a total face value of 1.2 yuan on January 5, 2007. The
pictures on the stamps are named "The Year of Ding Hai ". At the
same time, China National Philatelic Corporation specially made a
hardback stamp album named "Receiving Blessings in the Year of the
Pig." It contains the stamps of "The Year of Ding Hai" for
collection.
Since you are not in China, we recommend you to order the stamps
through the online shop of China National Philatelic Corporation,
please visit the following websites for further information.
