Detailed Description
It is a stock image only.  If you want to see the picture of the actual stamp, please check with me before you bid or place the order.
Heritage is a valuable and unique asset of each city which bears witness to its development. To enhance heritage conservation in the territory, the Government rolled out the Revitalising Historic Buildings Through Partnership Scheme (the Revitalisation Scheme) in 2008 which aims not only to preserve historic buildings, but also to develop them into remarkable cultural landmarks and put them to good and innovative use. Hongkong Post issues a set of six special stamps on “Revitalisation of Historic Buildings in Hong Kong”, depicting the historical background of the six historic buildings under Batch I of the Revitalisation Scheme and their usage after revitalisation, with the objective of enhancing public understanding of the conservation and revitalisation of historic buildings.

YHA Mei Ho House Youth Hostel is expected to come into operation in mid-2013. Apart from providing dormitory service, Mei Ho House of Livelihood, highlighting the historical development of Sham Shui Po and Shek Kip Mei as well as aspects of life in resettlement blocks, will also be set up. The stamp features YHA Mei Ho House Youth Hostel and, on the right, a globe, a map and a rucksack, to symbolise tourism.
