A postcard shows the folding screen (屏風) of Qinyuan Jinyingting (慶源金銀廳), Lukang (鹿港), Changhua County (彰化縣). Lukang is used to be important for its harbor. However, refusal for building a railroad and silting of harbor lead to its declination as a trading port. Yet, without a further modernization, this township has managed to preserve many of its heritages. Thanks fromching.
Two NT$5 stamps of a long set of stamps from an ancient Chinese painting, "Eighteen Scholars" by Sung Emperor Hui-Tsung (宋徽宗十八學士圖), were used. Their numbers in that set of stamps are 10-3 and 10-4. The stamps were machine cancelled with six wavy lines at Taipei on 28.2.2009.
