通常會開始集章，應該都是透過實體到某一個景點看到紀念章才有收集念想。但是如今網路發達，也可能線上帶動到線下。也就是google到相關資訊（例如JJ的網誌）才開始行動。
那麼先來探討國內集章景點部分。通常我也會習慣先上網做功課，瀏覽各大場館網站，或者相關社群臉書（例如蓋戳章遊台灣跟紀念章株式會社），章友們熱情的分享。
台灣集章場域大概可以分成5大類：
1.各大場館景點
3.郵局景點
：有風景戳的各地郵局,我會列入集章景點口袋名單，可以參照郵局網站。https://www.post.gov.tw/post/internet/Philately/index.jsp?ID=508
4.活動限定
：一定期間內的限量限時活動印章。這一個要靠自己常常上各大館舍臉書，再加上追蹤即或者官網最新消息可獲得有效資訊。
5.限定消費章
：部分的店家會有需要消費才能蓋章的規定，並且定期更新紀念章，畢竟店家營業是要謀生啊！大家網友給與支持喔。
國外則以日本最多集章景點〔沒有意外應該是全世界第一名〕，再來是大陸近年瘋狂集章之旅，容我日后另外一個篇幅介紹集章景點。

Usually, stamp collecting begins when one sees commemorative stamps at a certain tourist attraction. But now that the Internet is well developed, it is possible for online to drive offline business. That is, I googled for relevant information (such as JJ’s blog) before taking action.
So let’s discuss the domestic part first. I usually do my research online first, browsing the websites of major venues, or related social Facebook groups (such as Stamp Travel in Taiwan and Commemorative Stamp Corporation), where stamp friends share enthusiastically.
The stamp collection scene in Taiwan can be roughly divided into five categories:
1. Major venues and attractions: public museums, art galleries, libraries, exhibition halls and private exhibition venues. It should be noted that most public institutions (many of which offer free admission) are usually closed on Mondays, but some are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, and some are especially closed on Saturdays and Sundays. Be sure to check the business hours when planning your trip. As for private venues, it depends on the store owner. It is very diverse and I will not go into details here. In some cases, the library will be temporarily closed for 1 to 2 years for long-term renovation. Please note that some of the places require reservations to visit. There are also different levels, so there are a lot of details! Does it arouse your interest? Join me and collect chapters together~
2. Transportation attractions: MRT stations and train stations. There are commemorative stamps at almost every station in Taiwan except the light rail system. Most of them are outside the station and you can get the stamp without buying a ticket. What’s special about train stations is that due to the one-day-off-one-day-on-one-day-for-work policy, some small stations may have lunch breaks. For example, there will be no one from 12:30 to 13:30 (the same applies to small post offices), so this is also a place you need to pay attention to to avoid being disappointed.(It is recommended that beginners start with this method because the MRT opens very early and there is no need to check whether it is open or not. It is open all year round just like 7-11)
3. Post Office Scenic Spots: For post offices in various places with scenic stamps, please refer to the post office website.
4. Event limited: limited quantity and time stamps within a certain period of time. For this, you have to visit the Facebook pages of major institutions frequently and follow the latest news on their official websites to obtain useful information.
5. Limited consumption stamps: Some stores will have a rule that you need to make a purchase to get a stamp, and they will update the commemorative stamps regularly. After all, stores are in business to make a living! Please give your support, netizens.
Among foreign countries, Japan has the largest number of stamp collectors (unsurprisingly, it should be number one in the world), followed by mainland China’s crazy stamp collecting journey in recent years, which I will introduce in another article later.
