In the vast and clear South China Sea, there are many precious fishes and abundant seabed resources. The eight kinds of ornamental fishes portrayed in the stamps live only in the South China Sea. They are colourful and striped, like fairies, like soldiers, like graceful girls, like fluttering butterflies. The ornamental corals and the swimming fish form an extremely beautiful picture.
