Sales will be conducted at four locations: Dutayeon, Yanggu County Park Soo-geun Park Art Museum, Yanggu Baekja Museum, and the Modern History Museum, with 250 sheets limited per sales location.

The stamps were produced in a total of nine types according to the central image of each Yanggu 9 View, and purchases are limited to one sheet per person per image to allow more tourists and residents to collect them.

Yanggu-gun plans to use this 9 Views commemorative stamp not just as a collectible but as a promotional tool that captures the charm of Yanggu-gun.
