I must admit NigelC, after posting some months ago, that Portugal produced some of the most beautiful stamps that I have come across, re- exploring these Chinese albums has made me change my mind. Some of the art work is truely magnificent.
Why. from an Anglo/European Background, do so many of us put Asian art into the too hard basket and ignore it?
The 2003 yearbook and the earlier yearbook were purchased, on a round the Pacific Rim Princess Lines cruise at Shanghai in 2008. I found a little street stall, near the Railway museum, selling curios, so I bought these 2 yearbooks and they have lain dormant for 13 years.

Re: Sharing my stamps of PRC + Hong Kong (with F.D.C.s) from mid 90s.
Great! What about the 2018 U.S.A. book? I have a pile of 2019 stamps purchased in Charleston, at the PO you mapped out for me, and a large number of earlier stamps as well as 3 albums of U.S.A. F.D.C.s from the mid 50s which may interest members. There are also a lot of Hong Kong mint stamps and F.D.C.s purchased from New Zealand Post to go.
This is before we get into Singapore yearpacks. I hope you are free or reasonably cheap for a few months.

Following Waffle's great examples, I had a look to see what I had from China. Not much, was the answer, but here we go anyway.
First up is a postcard.

Re: Sharing my stamps of PRC + Hong Kong (with F.D.C.s) from mid 90s.
A colleague and a friend brought the next items back from China.
Firstly, I show a rather clever "Ticket For The Science Spot Of Badaling Sencyion Of The Great Wall Of China." (sic) So, it combines items.
The detachable right-hand section of the front (Image 1) appears to be the ticket proper. It has a scratch off section for a "password".
Image 2 is the back of a second page of the ticket. Obviously, I have no idea what the writing says!
Image 3 is the reverse of Image 1. This reveals that after the ticket section is detached, one is left with a minature postcard. It appears to be pre-paid.
Image 4 shows the attached minature sheet of four stamps, marked "Tourist commemorative of the Great Wall."
And, behind the MS is Image 5. Too long for my scanner. Have to show it upside down.

This is a hardback cloth covered "book" described as "China Stamp Album".
It is in fact a two page stock book with mint stamps and two MS.

That miniature sheet is simply stunning as is it's subject. Artistically, I would give it 20 out of 10.

Yes, I agree, it is stunning. But is it a MS? The perforated section has no country name or value.
