A set of twelve so-called "peach blossom" stamps were unveiled in Pinggu District of Beijing, capital of China, on Mar. 16, 2013. The special stamp, the first of its kind themed on the peach blossom in the People's Republic of China since it was founded in 1949, are published by China Post under the request of Pinggu, home to the world's largest peach blossom area which covers a total land area of 220,000 mu (14,666 ha). Printed with the use of special materials, the stamps give off a slight scent when people lightly touch the twelve different peach blossoms featured on the stamps. The district, dubbed one of the top ten destinations for viewing flowers in the world, will host the Fifteenth Pinggu International Peach Blossom Music Festival in mid-April, 2013.
