Meet Chiayi Project
From the Yuh Tong hotel, but we gave up looking for what this Project is/was. Or maybe it’s all in the Chinese-only caption on the reverse. Unused. Grade: 1

Chiayi, NICE Prince Hotel

Kaohsiung, Leisure travel in harbor city
The ultimate novelty postcard is unique in design and impossible to scan clearly, sorry. Most of those design elements look like punch-outs but the orange oval at the bottom is either pottery or some other hard, raised material. We can’t say because this card is still in its original cellowrap. The reverse has Chinese-only captioning, and more information (and a QR Code) on a separate strip. Complicated! Grade: 1

Code: 20325383

“Maximum” Cards of Taiwan Relics Postage Stamps (Issue of 2020) (set of 4)
First, despite what’s written on the cardboard cover for this set, these are not maximum cards. They have no stamps and no postmarks. But they are unused, and show Gongziliao Fort, the Railway Division of Taiwan Governor General’s Bureau of Transportation, Dalongdong Baoan Temple, and Tainan District Court Building. Chunghwa Post is strange this way. We once went into one of its philatelic branches and saw a similar set of “maximum” cards without stamps. When we pointed this out to the clerk, she said — in effect — oh yes, that’s how we do it, and took out some stamps and a postmark chop so she could do it on the spot. (But not all Taiwanese maximum cards are managed this way.) Grade: 1

Code: 20325391
Price: $9.00
Pinkoi product
We didn’t know how to describe this, but it’s attributed to Pinkoi, which looks a bit like Etsy, and was mailed from Taiwan in 2020 with stamp and full postmark. Grade: 1

Price: $1.00
Taiwan Snacks
We have often commented on the brilliance in design and variety of Taiwan postcards, and this is as good an example as any. Of course it helps if you can read Chinese, but you definitely get the idea. Mailed from Taiwan in 2020, with two different stamps and postmark. Grade: 1

Puli, Nantou County, Paper Dome
The postcard itself (mailed in 2020 with two stamps and postmark) didn’t explain too much, and the writer was feeling a bit sad that day, so we did as we always do and went to Wikipedia to learn more. Here is what they said, slightly edited: “The Paper Dome (桃米紙教堂) is a temporary church building constructed using paper tubes as structural elements. It was designed by Shigeru Ban, Japanese architect, (and) built on September 17, 1995 to serve as a temporary church after the Great Hanshin earthquake. The venue was not limited for use to religious worship but also used as a place for communal gatherings. However, when the church community planned to build a permanent building, the structure was donated to Taomi Village in Puli Township, Nantou County which had suffered the 921 earthquake in 1999. The deconstructed structure was shipped in 2006 to Taiwan, and is now one of the top tourist attractions in that area.” Grade: 1

COVID-19
We debated how to title this. But this is fair. The card was mailed in late 2020 with two different stamps, and postmark. As of right now, the virus continues unabated. We very much hope by the time you read this, things are better. Grade: 1
