TAIWAN is one of the most frequented destinations in Asia for a lot of reasons: to see the sights, enjoy its delicacies, to shop or learn the culture. It has everything to keep its visitors intrigued.

Cebuanos got to experience a bit of it through the “Taiwan Small Town & DIY Promotion Fair” last May 18 at the New Wing of Ayala Center Cebu. The fair is part of a campaign to engage with locals and have them experience Taiwan through fun activities.

The all-day event provided locals with a fun introduction to Taiwan through a series of activities: the ring toss, bean bag and stand bottle games; DIY (Do It Yourself) sessions making paper umbrellas and sky lanterns; a pearl milk tea drinking contest, as well as a chance to win prizes including a trip to Taiwan. Participants were also given pamphlets about all there is to know about Taiwan, from its sites to its dining spots.

Although Taiwan’s a plane ride away, people were able to enjoy a day experiencing what’s in store for future visitors.
