Ni Hao!
This beautiful postcard shows the Capital City of Taiwan, Taipei. It is located in Northern Taiwan.
The tower building shown on the postcard is "Taipei 101".
The back of the card said that Taipei 101 is the 2nd largest building in the World, but a little research through Google Guru told that currently (in July 2014) Taipei 101 is the 5th tallest building on the planet after Burj Khalifa, Shanghai Tower, Makkah Royal Clock Tower Hotel and One World Trade Center. Height of the Taipei 101 is 1667 feet.
Taipei 101 comprises 101 floors above ground and 5 floors underground. The building was architecturally created as a symbol of the evolution of technology and Asian tradition. Its post-modernist approach to style incorporates traditional design elements and gives them modern treatments. The tower is designed to withstand typhoons and earthquakes. A multi-level shopping mall adjoining the tower houses hundreds of stores, restaurants and clubs.
2 x Beautiful stamps are attached at the back of the postcard by Neho. One of the stamp shows a mushroom named Amanita Rubrovolvata, while the second shows a stag.
Thank you Neho for such a beautiful postcard.
BTW it was an official Postcrossing Postcard.

What a scenic view of Taiwan at night! It sure looks like a bustling city even in the evening. The information you shared with us about Taipei 101 - It’s really great to learn interesting trivia/info about stamps, don’t you? I enjoy collecting stamps, and even though I don’t have as much as the others do, I take pride in my collection as I have learned and even remember odd yet interesting information about them.
Maybe you would like to check StampWorld.com, one of my favorite stamp sites, during your free time, you can find Taiwan stamps http://www.stampworld.com/en/stamps/Taiwan/ there, and I‘m sure you will love their collection of stamps, FDCs, and many more!
Thanks for the lovely comment Kevin!
