The United Nations Postal Administration officially brings out special stamps on Jan 19 to celebrate the Year of the Dragon. WANG FAN/CHINA NEWS SERVICE Celebrations of the Lunar New Year are in full swing worldwide as China's traditional Spring Festival holiday draws growing, enthusiastic attention across the globe.
