generic lighthouse; postcard: taiwan

what. postcard with lighthouse received

postmark. none visible; stamp of Taiwan ("Republic of China (Taiwan)")

remarks. This is regarded as a generic lighthouse because where the Double-Heart of Stacked Stones featured in the postcard can be seen, there is no lighthouse of that description overlooking it.

note. Mandarin Chinese for lighthouse: 灯塔 (simplified script; dēngtǎ), 燈塔 (traditional script; dēngtǎ)
