Subcategory - Unusual Covers, Folders and Postcards
This category is a offshoot of the unusual category for covers and folders which are unique and offers a different perspective to stamps collections. So for unusual cover and folder collectors this is for you. Another apology is due as I collect only mint stamps and miniature/souvenir sheet I haven't spent much time researching into this category for other unusual covers and folders. (For me unusual covers and folders should not be thought of having unusual stamps but that the cover/folder itself is unusual).

China 2004 – Soils of China on FDC
Issue date – 01 Oct 2004
“Soils of China” – In celebration of the 55th Anniversary of the Founding of the People’s Republic of China – Inlaid cover
The land is the source of all beings, life blood of a nation, and basis for people’s living. Since ancient times, the Chinese people have respected, worshiped and loved their land. China has a vast territory, with 9.6 million square kilometers of land, which is the third largest in the world. In the vast land there are soils of various colors: yellow, red, black, green and white. They produce different plants and form different natural and cultural landscapes, nurturing countless generations of the Chinese nation.
To celebrate the 55th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, and to remind the people to treasure and love more our homeland, China National Philatelic Corporation has produced and issued a five piece set of inlaid covers containing soils from different regions of China.
The red soil is formed in the biological and climatic conditions of the central subtropical zone. This acid soil has got its color from its high content of iron oxide in the form of red iron ore. The red soil is mainly found in the hilly areas of Jiangxi and Hunan provinces in China PFN2004-5(5-2)
