Chiang Kai-shek International Airport
Chiang Kai-shek International Airport (also known as CKS) is 40 km west of Taipei. This card originally had an informative stub on the left, not really meant for mailing, so there’s one perforated edge.

Yunlin, Timeless Journey
Despite all that’s going on in the reverse of the card (stamps, huge special postmark, trilingual airmail sticker, logos, message, drawings), it’s in good condition and by our own standards we can’t downgrade the card because of those. Grade: 1

Penghu Islands, split view
We’ve waited until now to give you Wikipedia’s description of the Penghu Islands. Here it is: “The Penghu Islands, also known as Pescadores (from Portuguese “fishermen”), are an archipelago off the western coast of Taiwan in the Taiwan Strait consisting of 64 small islands and islets. The whole archipelago forms the Penghu County (澎湖縣) of Taiwan, covering an area of 141 square kilometers.” That location midway between Taiwan and the PRC has led to a colourful history. Unused card, embossed. Grade: 1
-
Penghu Islands, flowers
Unused, embossed, sturdy and high-class postcard. Grade: 1
-

-
Taiwan’s Delicious Foods (B)
Referring back to what we said about entry 20325151, this version is a little different (and mailed in 2013, with stamp and postmark) but it’s probably an internet card. Regardless, the designs are nice, and unique in their own way. Grade: 1
-

The sender of this card (in 2013, two stamps, postmark) explained it as follows: “This postcard is talking about smartphone addiction. It is designed by our school. It was the Department of Commercial Design students’ works.” That is clear, though we don’t know what school. Grade: 1
