Xiaoliuqiu, (小琉球; Xiǎo Liúqiú) is an island belonging to Taiwan. It has an area of 6.8 square kilometres (2.6 sq mi) and lies 15 km (8 nautical miles) west of Donggang; it is Taiwan's only large coral island. The eight villages on the island are populated by approximately 13,000 residents with 10 shared surnames.
This rock called 花瓶石 is a well-known landmark of this island. This postcard shows a cute rendition of the rock and it was sent by Ellie (27 July 2017).
Postcards I have received from 2013 to 2018 primarily through Postcrossing and Swap-bot although there are some postcards here that are from other sources.
