Correios de Macau was founded in 1 March 1884 as a separate entity from China Post and a sub-member of the Universal Postal Union. Prior to the transfer of sovereignty from Portugal to China in 1999, postage stamps bore the words REPÚBLICA PORTUGUESA ('Portuguese Republic' in Portuguese), but now bear the words MACAU, CHINA ('Macau, China' in Portuguese).
Thanks to Khaki Catia for this postcard of his own photography of the
Central Post Office and the lovely mailbox stamps to match.
