Each stamp records the journey of every traveler, representing unique memories of each trip, while stamps from different countries also reflect the distinctive cultural history of each nation. The UK's Daily Mail has selected nine of the most special and rare stamps in the world, worth collecting for every traveler.

According to regulations from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a passport is an official document. Non-authorised agencies are not permitted to alter, delete, or affix any stamps or seals without permission. When traveling abroad, do not stamp commemorative seals in your passport pages to avoid affecting your rights and interests.

The 2017 Taoyuan Agricultural Expo was held from April 22 to May 14 next to the Xinyi Meteorological Station at the Agri-Expo Base, lasting a total of 23 days. Covering an area of approximately 30 hectares, the base featured four major themes: the Plant Landscape Zone, Multicultural Zone, Local Life Zone, and Green Technology & Sustainability Zone. It showcased Taoyuan’s local characteristics, highlighted new agricultural trends such as organic farming and youth agriculture, connected with local industries like green energy and plant factories, and integrated pond culture, community development, and agricultural regeneration mechanisms, offering a unique agricultural expo experience compared to other counties and cities.
