ReporterYan Xintong/ Interview and report

Is the most beautiful scenery in Taiwan really "its people"? From now on, please stop a small number of visitors to Taipei Songshan Airport’s observation deck from stamping commemorative stamps on the walls. This seemingly minor act of thoughtlessness can really give the cleaning uncle a hard time.

Taipei Songshan Airport's official Facebook page posted an article on the 29th about commemorative stamps being stamped on the walls of the observation deck. When contacted by EastNews Travel Cloud, a staff member surnamed Chen said:"It's difficult to clean stamps off the walls. This kind of situation happens quite often, for at least six months now. We've been trying to improve the situation, but the results are still limited. If we put up signs on the walls, we're also worried it might affect the aesthetics.""We urge everyone to show some public spirit—please stamp them in your own small booklets. Stamping on the walls makes it very hard for the cleaning uncle to clean up."

The post pointed out that everyone loves coming to Songshan Airport to watch planes take off and land up close, so many know there are commemorative stamps available at the entrance of the observation deck elevator for people to stamp as souvenirs. It hopes that those who come to the observation deck to watch planes will kindly show some public spirit.

"Please show more public spirit. Commemorative stamps can be stamped on your calendars, notebooks, small booklets, etc., or on test stamp areas or postcards set up on tabletops.Don't stamp them on the walls anymore. The beautiful wallpaper has been ruined. Seeing the cleaning uncle struggling to wipe the stamps off the walls brings me to tears T^T"”
