A set of six stamps portraying Beijing's main Olympic venues

the stamps feature the National Gymnasium, the China Agricultural
University Gymnasium, the Beijing University Gymnasium, the Qingdao
Olympic Sailing Center, the Laoshan Velodrome and the National
Swimming Center, or the Water Cube.
A six-yuan commemorative cover sheet depicting the National
