Mountain FDC from China (22nd NOV'2007)


  • FDC Name: Gongga Shan & Popocatépetl (China - Mexico Joint issue)
  • Issue date: 22nd November 2007.
  • Gongga Shan(Chinese, Traditional,Pinyin: Gònggá shān), also known as Minya Konka, is the highest mountain in Sichuan, China. It is situated in the Daxue Shan mountain range. It is the easternmost 7000 m peak in the world and the third highest peak outside of the Himalaya/Karakoram.The peak has large vertical relief over the deep nearby gorges.A rope way has been constructed that can transport tourists across the glacier below the mountain to a cable car station at 5000 meter altitude.
  • Popocatépetl(commonly referred to as El Popo or Don Goyo) is an active volcano and the second highest peak in Mexico after the Pico de Orizaba (5,636 m). Popocatépetl comes from the Nahuatl words popōca 'it smokes' and tepētl 'mountain', thus Smoking Mountain. Popocatépetl is linked to the Iztaccíhuatl volcano to the north by the high saddle known as the Paso de Cortés, and lies in the eastern half of the Trans-Mexican volcanic belt.Popocatepetl is one of the most active volcanoes in Mexico, having had more than 20 major eruptions since the arrival of the Spanish in 1519. Popo is currently active. A major eruption occurred in 1947 to begin this cycle of activity. Then, on December 21, 1994 the volcano spewed gas and ash which was carried as far as 25 km away by prevailing winds. The activity prompted the evacuation of nearby towns and scientists to begin monitoring for an eruption. In December 2000, tens of thousands of people were evacuated by the government based on the warnings of scientists. The volcano then made its largest display in thousands of years.

In the background on both sides are symmetrically arranged paper-cut patterns of house shrews (known as "money" rodents in Chinese) and flowers. In Chinese, the word for "flower" is a homonym for "strikes it rich," and so these images of flowers symbolize becoming wealthy in the year of the rat.
