The Hongkong Post issued a set of six augmented reality stamps called “Revitalization of Historic Buildings in Hong Kong II” showcasing six historic building revitalization projects. These special stamps are part of an effort to enhance public understanding and appreciation of the built heritage in Hong Kong.

Hover over these stamps with a smartphone using the HKPostStamps app and a virtual model of the historic building will pop up for you to explore. Each rendering includes interactive hotspots that bring up information including opening hours and links to visit the building in person. 

Check out how they work:

• Viva Blue House, located in Wanchai, is composed of the Blue House, Yellow House, Orange House and adjacent vacant land
