According to regulations from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as a government document, passports must not be altered, added to, or stamped with unofficial seals or marks by non-authorised entities. When traveling abroad, do not get stamps or seals in your passport to avoid affecting your rights and interests.

The 2017 Taoyuan Agriculture Expo was held from April 22 to May 14 next to the Xinyi Weather Station at the Agri-Expo Base, lasting a total of 23 days. The base covers an area of about 30 hectares and features four major themes: the Plant Landscape Zone, the Multicultural Zone, the Local Life Zone, and the Technology & Sustainability Zone. Combining local characteristics of Taoyuan, it showcases new agriculture such as organic farming and youth-led agriculture, links local industries such as green energy and plant factories, and integrates pond culture, community building, and agricultural regeneration mechanisms, offering a unique agricultural expo experience compared to other counties and cities.
