[aukepalmhof]

Macao Post and Telecommunications Bureau will issue the stamp theme “50th Anniversary of the Inauguration of Governor Nobre de Carvalho Bridge” on 5th October, 2024.
 
The Governor Nobre de Carvalho Bridge, named after the then Governor Nobre de Carvalho, was inaugurated on 5th October 1974. It was the first sea-crossing bridge connecting the Macao Peninsula and the island of Taipa. It was also once the world’s longest continuous prestressed-concrete girder bridge at the time of completion. The unique design and significance of the Bridge made it one of the design elements of the regional flag and regional emblem of the Macao Special Administrative Region.
 
The Governor Nobre de Carvalho Bridge has a beautiful outlook, a unique and appealing shape, with simple and spectacular lines. For designers, the Governor Nobre de Carvalho Bridge is not only a sea-crossing bridge, but also an architectural work of art. For years, the Bridge has attracted visitors from all over the world to enjoy its beauty and take photos of it.
 
This issue includes a set of two stamps. The first stamp shows a daytime view of the Bridge from Macao, with a panoramic view of the Bridge’s highest point and the modern landscape of Taipa. The second stamp shows the view of Macao Peninsula from Taipa, with the lights of the Bridge complementing the enchanting night, highlighting the splendor and prosperity of Macao. Whether it is the leisurely vibes during the day or the glittery night lights at sunset, one can feel the unique charm of the Governor Nobre de Carvalho Bridge.
 The ferry on the 2.50P is not identified.
