Answer
Hi Kerstern,

The postal code you are looking for is 32667.

Here is how I found it:
Go to the Zip Code website for Taiwan (**), and choose "The United National Mandarin Phonetic System (Han Yu Pin Yin)" sub site. The direct link to there is http://www.post.gov.tw/post/internet/u_english/postal_e_1.jsp?phonetic=2

- Choose "TaoYuan County" in the pulldown list (Hsien is the therm for County)
- Once you have chosen the County, you get a secondary list of towns. Select "YangMei Town" in the pulldown list (Chen is the term used for Town)
- Then hit the Search button without filling in any of the other information. The site will then pull up a list of all the roads in Yang Mei town. (This is an easier way to get the information than trying to guess the correct name of the road in Pinyin.)
- Scroll down the list, and you will see the road called "Gaoqing Rd.", this is the road you are looking for. Unlike for some of the other roads, all building numbers on this road has the 32667 zip code.

Hope that helped!

/Lotta

So you do have the correct information, by the way. I would suggest that you use the official Taiwan system - Romanized Phonetic System (Tongyong Pin Yin) to write your address.

Han Yu PinYin Version: 26 GaoQing Road, YangMei Chen, TaoYuan Hsien 32667, Taiwan/ROC
Tongyong Pin Yin Version: 26 GaoCing Road, YangMei Chen, TaoYuan Hsien 32667, Taiwan/ROC
---------Follow-up----------
