Between 7 and 11 March 2008, Taipei hosted the 21st Asian International Stamp Exhibition, featuring 1,000 frames of competitive and non-competitive exhibits.
Issue information
The exhibition logo featured the Mikado pheasant (Syrmaticus Mikado), a protected bird selected to represent the beauty of Taiwan and its commitment to preserving ecological environments. As the exhibition organiser said, "The bright colourful picture is a prelude to the opening of the joyous and cheerful exhibition to come in 2008."
New Zealand Post commemorated the exhibition with a miniature sheet and miniature sheet first day cover.
