As the ROC Year 106 Double Tenth consecutive holiday approaches, if you haven’t planned an overseas trip, have you decided where on the island of the Republic of China you want to have a big adventure and enjoy this rare four-day holiday?

Mizuc has specially compiled for everyone a guide to the festival activities held on the island of Taiwan during the Double Tenth holiday, so everyone can easily enjoy a leisurely and happy holiday!

In addition, Chunghwa Post has specially organized a “Celebrating the Double Tenth National Day Commemorative Postmark” activity. During the activity period (October 10 to 20), at the Postal Museum (which will not close on October 10), the 901st branch of each class of post office, and the business halls of each long-term philatelic subscriber service office [5], one each of the express and ordinary mailboxes marked “Exclusively for mailed letters bearing the commemorative postmark” will be hung outside the main or side doors. The public can mail letters bearing the commemorative postmark in these dedicated mailboxes.
