The All-China Philatelists Federation (ACPF) opened a philately exhibition on centennial Olympics Thursday in Beijing.
The exhibition, which lasts through March 15 in the exhibition hall of China Centenary Altar, shows philatelists' support to China's bid to host of 2008 Olympic Games.
The exhibition will also show close links between philatelic culture and sports games, Liu Pingyuan, chairman of the federation, said at the opening ceremony.
Greece issued the world's first set of stamps featuring the first Olympic Games in 1896.
A total of 112 stamp albums are participating in the nationwide exhibition, according to the federation.
