Snapshot! Postal Facilities Photo-taking Contest

Introduction

Introduction

Whether you are a resident or tourist, you may remember the Macao Post Headquarters, the landmark on Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro. You will see special red pillar boxes that look like Chinese pavilions on the streets. Actually, the postal network and facilities cover different places of Macao and islands. They all help to make the beautiful city of Macao.

We would like to invite you to join the "Snapshot! Postal Facilities Photo-taking Contest" so that you can creatively record the postal facilities with your mobile phone or camera.
