Hi there :)! Today is Chinese New Year!!! And I want to share some Chinese New Year customaries with you, but today, I just want to keep my family members' companies much more.

哈囉 :)！今天是大年初一！！！我想與你們分享一些農曆年的習俗，但在今天，我更想陪伴我的家人。

So just let me simply introduce a postcard sent by me this time.

所以這一次，就讓我簡單地向你們介紹一張我寄出的明信片。

This is a map of Taiwan, which was made by a foreign missionary during the reign of 康熙(Kang-Xi)

這是一張康熙年間由外國傳教士製作的台灣地圖。

It's easy to perceive the contrast between this old map and the satellite image of Taiwan which was taken today.

我們可以輕易地發現到這張古地圖與現今台灣衛星雲圖之間的差別。

Where is the east part of Taiwan?

You can find that there are lots of mountains lying in Eastern Taiwan with the satellite image.

These towering mountains made outlining a map of whole Taiwan an arduous task.

That's the reason the old map is not complete.

東台灣呢？

透過衛星雲圖，你可以發現東台灣有許多座山。

這些巍峨的山使畫出整個台灣的略圖變成一項艱鉅的工作。

而這正是那張台灣古地圖之所以不完整的原因。

Nowadays, Eastern Taiwan is the most natural part of Taiwan.

Whether you prefer mountains or seas, you can beguile your time with soaking yourself in Eastern Taiwan's beautiful scenery.

如今，全台最接近自然原始風貌的部分就是東台灣。

無論你好山或是樂水，你都可以輕鬆沉浸在東台灣的美景中度過美好的時光。

Finally, let's appreciate some beautiful postcards of  Eastern Taiwan as the end of this article.

最後，讓我們欣賞幾張東台灣美麗的明信片，為這篇文章畫下完美的句點。
