ULAN BATOR, Feb 9 (NNN-APA) – The Mongol Post, Mongolia’s national postal service, has issued a special postage stamp to celebrate the Lunar New Year, a traditional festival known as the “White Moon” in the country, and to welcome the Year of the Dragon, local media reported yesterday.
The stamp displays a pair of silver dragons discovered by Mongolian and Chinese archaeologists in the central-west Mongolian province of Arkhangai.
In addition, the words “Year of the Dragon” and “Mongolia” were inscribed on the stamp in English.
