Continuing the series of Taiwan Scenery Postage Stamps begun in 2016, Chunghwa Post has released a new set of these stamps on four famous sites in Kinmen County. Descriptions of their designs follow:1.Kinmen Bridge (NT$8): Connecting Kinmen to Lieyu, Kinmen Bridge is the first deep-water sea-crossing bridge in Taiwan. For the convenience of residents and tourists alike the bridge was opened for use on October 30, 2022.2.Chen Jing-lan Western-style House (NT$8): In Jinhu Township, Kinmen County. An elegant portico runs round the house, the largest Western-style house in Kinmen and of great historical significance.3.Shanhou Folk Culture Village (NT$9): Situated in Jinsha Township, Kinmen County. With its back to the hill and facing the sea, the village is set out in perfect order as a showpiece of traditional architectural crafts. It is a complete village of old houses in a perfect state of preservation.4.Dadan Island (NT$20): Dadan Island belongs to Kinmen’s Lieyu Township. The unyielding courage of the military is recorded in the huge slogan on the island: Undaunted I defend Dadan; Isolated but no Orphan! In 2019 the island was opened to tourists to come and explore its past mysteries.Personal greeting stamps without marginal inscriptions have been released along with the stamps, which feature a full set of “Taiwan Scenery Postage Stamps — Kinmen County.” These customizable stamps are suited to collect.
