BEIJING, May 11 (Xinhua) — A set of two stamps was issued on Wednesday to mark the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Spain.
The stamps, featuring Spain's Laguna de Fuente de Piedra and the Hengshui Lake in north China's Hebei Province, were designed by Chinese stamp designer Ma Lihang.
The Hengshui Lake is a national nature reserve that boasts a complete wetland ecosystem. It is home to 333 bird species, 757 insect species, 594 plant species, and 45 fish species.
Laguna de Fuente de Piedra, within the wet zones of the Western Mediterranean, is home to the largest colony of flamingoes in the Iberian Peninsula.
