Some people queued before the post office open for the launch of the stamps. Since 1980, China has released stamps with the zodiac animals of that lunar year before Spring Festival. /Photo via VCG.

According to the China Post, this year's circulation of dog stamps will be 30 percent less compared with the rooster stamps last year, which increased the value of the stamp. /Photo via VCG.

Because of the special art and investment value of the zodiac stamps, collectors began to queue almost one week before releasing every year. /Photo via VCG.

Each year, China Post releases different editions of the stamp. For stamp collectors, the biggest edition, which includes over 64 stamps, is the most valuable one. /Photo via VCG.
