A set of six stamps portraying Beijing's main Olympic venues were issued by China Post on Thursday.
With a total face value of 8.6 yuan (about 1.2 U.S. dollars), the stamps feature the National Gymnasium, the China Agricultural University Gymnasium, the Beijing University Gymnasium, the Qingdao Olympic Sailing Center, the Laoshan Velodrome and the National Swimming Center, or the Water Cube.
A six-yuan commemorative cover sheet depicting the National Stadium, or the Bird's Nest, was issued together with the stamps.
It is the fourth set of commemorative Olympic stamps China has issued since Beijing won the right to host the 2008 Games in July 2001.
