Celebrating the splendour of the Year of the Dragon
Our commemorative stamp set for the Chinese Year of the Dragon marks the beginning of one of the most revered and widely celebrated festivals worldwide.
Immerse yourself in the vibrant celebrations of the Chinese New Year with Isle of Man Post Office's exclusive set of stamps honouring the revered Year of the Dragon. Designed in collaboration with the esteemed artist and illustrator Jo Davies, these stamps capture the spirit and legend behind this auspicious lunar symbol.
Delve into ancient folklore as we draw inspiration from the enthralling story of the Four Dragons. Once upon a time, when Earth was devoid of water bodies, four majestic dragons soared through the Eastern Sea. Witness their compassionate journey to bring rain to the parched lands and save the people from devastating drought.
This collection is made up of four stamps and continues Isle of Man Post Office's strong association with the Chinese New Year and previous issues for various years.
