What is claimed is: 1. A contact lens package comprising: a top plate; a receiving portion located at a first end of the top plate, a holding portion located at a second end of the top plate opposite to the first end; and a supporting portion protruding downward from the top plate and surrounding the receiving portion; wherein the holding portion protrudes downward from the top plate, a holding surface is defined at an intersection of the holding portion and the top plate, and the holding surface is an arc surface depressed from the intersection of the holding portion and the top plate; wherein the supporting portion comprises two first supporting arms, the two first supporting arms are located at opposite sides of the receiving portion, and the two first supporting arms are spaced from the holding portion; and wherein a vertical height of each first supporting arm is equal to half of a vertical height of the holding portion. 2. The contact lens package of claim 1 , wherein the receiving portion is bowl-shaped, a receiving groove is defined in the receiving portion. 3. The contact lens package of claim 2 , wherein the receiving portion includes a bottom wall, a first side wall, a second side wall, a third side wall, and a fourth side wall, the first side wall, the third side wall, the second side wall, and the fourth side wall are connected with each other in written order and are interconnected between the bottom wall and the top plate, the first side wall is opposite to the third side wall, and the third side wall is opposite to the fourth side wall. 4. The contact lens package of claim 3 , wherein the bottom wall and the first and second side walls are flat-shaped. 5. The contact lens package of claim 4 , wherein each of an included angle between the first side wall and the bottom wall and an included angle between the second side wall and the bottom wall ranges from 100 to 140 degree. 6. The contact lens package of claim 4 , wherein an included angle between the first side wall and the bottom wall is greater than an included angle between the second side wall and the bottom wall. 7. The contact lens package of claim 4 , wherein the third and fourth side walls are arc-shaped. 8. The contact lens package of claim 1 , wherein a width of the top plate decreases along a direction from the two first supporting arms to the holding portion. 9. The contact lens package of claim 1 , wherein the supporting portion further comprises a second supporting arm, the second supporting arm is located at the first end of the top plate and is opposite to the holding portion. 10. The contact lens package of claim 9 , wherein a vertical height of the second supporting arm is equal to or less than a vertical height of the holding portion. 11. The contact lens package of claim 1 , further comprising a backing ring, wherein the backing ring is located on an upper surface of the top plate, the top plate defines an opening coupled with the receiving portion, and the backing ring surrounds the opening.
