Even Chunghwa Post is going duck-crazy！ In tandem with the Land Art Festival, the Taoyuan Post Office will set up a post office next to Houhu Pond, where the yellow rubber duck is displayed, starting from the 26th. Moreover, during the exhibition period, a "Little Duck Temporary Post Office" will be available every Saturday. Not only will personalized stamps be offered for visitors, but also "one-day-only date stamps and limited-edition envelopes" themed around the three international art installations on display — adding a special postal touch to the Land Art Festival.

The Taoyuan Post Office has planned a series of commemorative activities for the Land Art Festival. The most recommended are the "one-day-only Little Duck Temporary Post Offices" on the three Saturdays: October 26, November 2, and November 9. Alongside the five exhibition zones that already offer their own zone-specific stamps, the Taoyuan Post Office will introduce commemorative stamps and envelopes themed around the "Yellow Duck," "Lotus," and "Traces of Life" on these three days, one design per day. Each type of commemorative envelope is limited to 500 copies and will be given out starting at 9 a.m. on the day, while supplies last.

In addition, the Taoyuan Post Office specifically highlights that in addition to the limited-edition duck stamps and the three themed international art envelopes, the most recommended service is the daily "customized stamp" offering. Visitors can take a photo with their mobile phone alongside the yellow duck, then send the image to the Taoyuan Post Office account via LINE at the temporary post office. On-site staff will turn the photo into a personalized stamp unique to the visitor, giving philatelists an extra special collectible.

The yellow duck commemorative events don’t stop there！ Chunghwa Post notes that visitors can exchange a clipping of media coverage about the Land Art Festival for a Little Duck calendar card at the temporary post office. A total of 1,000 cards will be given out, one per person, until supplies run out. Limited-edition "Land Art Festival postcard sets" featuring designs including the yellow duck will also be sold on-site, with each set of five cards priced at NT$50, though only 2,000 sets are available. The Taoyuan County Government Cultural Affairs Bureau has also authorized the temporary post office to sell limited-edition philatelic merchandise, with each purchase coming with a complimentary, finely designed Little Duck calendar card.
