A delegation from Japan’s Tochigi Prefecture recently visited Kaohsiung, bringing its famous strawberries, pears, beef, and rice balls for people to try. Not far from Tokyo, Tochigi offers beautiful hot springs and vast bamboo forests great for leisurely walks. With cherry blossoms in the spring and wisteria plants covering up to 1,000 square meters, it’s a great place to escape the hustle of daily life and relax amid nature.

The Kaohsiung deputy mayor poses for a picture with the governor and tourism director of Japan’s Tochigi Prefecture at a recent event in Kaohsiung.

Tomikazu Fukuda
Tochigi Prefecture Governor
I hope that the people of Kaohsiung would use this opportunity to learn about Tochigi.

Known for its strawberries, Tochigi offered strawberries, pears, beef, and rice balls for people to try at this event promoting tourism.

Yuichi Kuragane
Tochigi tourism bureau director
When people think of Tochigi Prefecture, they think of the strawberry kingdom. It ranks first in Japan for strawberry production, and its strawberry-picking activities are also very popular.

Apart from its delicious food, Tochigi also has many beautiful scenic spots, including hot springs and bamboo forests.

There are many kinds of hot springs here, and I hope everyone will come and enjoy them to the fullest. There are also snow huts close by. Snow hut season is around Lunar New Year in February, and I highly recommend visiting.

With its abundant natural resources, Tochigi is a great place to visit for people who enjoy outdoor activities and appreciate flowers.

Bamboo forest chair
There are even golden bamboo trees in the forest, which cannot be seen in other places. It’s a space unlike any other, which is why many famous Japanese movies have been shot here.

Koichiro Hayakawa
Flower park chair
There are four wisteria plants covering an area of 1,000 square meters within the park. The cherry blossoms and wisteria bloom at the same time, allowing visitors to enjoy both simultaneously.

In Tochigi, people can enjoy delicious cuisine and wondrous nature. Anyone visiting Japan can consider making a trip to this marvelous prefecture.

Owner abandons 46 rabbits after one bites child, requests them back

Hsinchu County animal protection officers and Councilor Chu Chien-ming recently received a report that a large number of rabbits had been abandoned. They ended up saving 45, as well as one that had already passed. Officers said that abandoning pets is against the law, subject to a fine of between NT$30,000 and NT$150,000. The owner said he released them impulsively after one bit his child. He said he wishes to get them back, but fears it may now be impossible.

Even after capturing several rabbits, animal protection officers kept shouting that there were still more ahead. Dozens of rabbits could be seen hopping around in the open.

Chu Chien-ming
Hsinchu County Councilor
We found a total of 46 rabbits here. One had already died from the cold.

They weren’t wild rabbits. They were released by their owner in a grassy area of the Wuhua Industrial Zone in Hsinchu’s Xionglin Township. Animal welfare volunteers investigated after receiving a report, and ended up saving 45 rabbits, which are currently being kept at a county shelter. Afterward, the owner immediately reached out to his representative to apologize.

Chu Chien-ming
Hsinchu County Councilor
The owner’s child was bitten by one of the rabbits and needed many stiches. He lost control of his emotions and abandoned the rabbits in a forested area.

Rabbit owner
I’ve set a very bad example. I’m very sorry. I sincerely hope people will understand.

The owner says he deeply regrets his actions and wishes to adopt them again.

Lin Chih-cheng
Hsinchu animal protection specialist
If the owner expresses a desire to take them back, it won’t happen. He’s already broken the law. After handling the case according to the law, he will no longer be able to adopt any animals from our shelter. So it’s basically impossible for this to happen.

Even though the owner has apologized and wishes to atone, he’s already broken the law by abandoning his rabbits, and could be fined up to NT$150,000. The county again called on owners to take responsibility for their pets, saying you can’t just take in animals when you feel like it and abandon them when you don’t want them anymore.

Unique Wanli building designed to naturally regulate temperature

Traveling around New Taipei’s Wanli District, you might stumble across a strange white structure that resembles a peanut or an anthill. Called the DoGood House, it not only looks unique, but is also Taiwan’s only green building to have a usage license. It utilizes wind tunnels to eliminate the need for AC while also staying warm in winter. By also incorporating artwork and local fishing culture, the park has become a new tourist destination for Wanli.

When viewed from above, this irregular white structure resembles a peanut, or maybe an anthill when viewed from the side. But aside from its strange shape, this “DoGood House” in New Taipei’s Wanli has the unique distinction of being Taiwan’s only green structure to receive a usage permit.

The design utilizes a peculiar shape and thick walls with wind tunnels running throughout to naturally cool the hot wind from outside. Even without air conditioning, the building stays cool in summer and warm in winter.

Chen Kuo-hsiang
Leisure farm owner
Hot air rises and cool air falls. This physical principle of circulation is used to maintain a 3-to-5-degree difference in temperature between the inside and the outside.

Aside from the green building, the park also has outdoor leisure space with a large chameleon structure created by artist Liu Ting-tsan. Made from steel, it gives the park an artistic flair. There are also red and blue crabs scrabbling up the wall made of steel and stone to represent Wanli’s famous crab industry.

Chen Chung-chih
Owner
We’re the largest licensed farm in New Taipei City. We want to make a place where kids can come play. It combines tourism with ecological and other kinds of education, including local foods and metal sculptures.

Stir-fried with chili and Sichuan peppers, and topped with a spicy sauce, this fragrant squid and fishcake dish is also a must-have. The park is making use of new innovations combined with nature, art, and local food to create a place for everyone to come and relax, injecting new life into Wanli’s tourism industry.

Taipei has amazingly cheap eats in the glitzy Xinyi District

With commodity prices soaring, everyone is looking for cheap meal options. Amazingly, a restaurant in Taipei’s upmarket Xinyi District is managing to offer an all-you-can-eat vegetarian buffet for only NT$80. Another restaurant offers an all-you-can eat hotpot and teppanyaki combo, including drinks and ice cream, for just NT$280. For people living paycheck to paycheck, these restaurants are life savers.

There are over 30 dishes in this buffet. For just NT$80 customers can eat to their heart’s content. Located in a prime location in the Xinyi District, it’s amazing that the owner is able to maintain such generous prices. How can he stay afloat?

Mr. Lee
Vegetarian buffet operator
It’s all run by our family, which reduces labor costs. We also buy our own vegetables from the wholesale market at 3 or 4 in the morning, so they’re cheaper. This significantly lowers our costs, which is why we can maintain these prices.

If you’re looking for something more hearty, there are also other affordable options. At this restaurant, you can put ingredients one by one into a hot pot, while next to it chunks of meat are sizzling on a grill. There are five different soup bases to choose from, and you also get drinks and ice cream, all for NT$280. You can eat as much as you want with unlimited dining time.

Member of the public
Thinks it’s a good deal
This is an old restaurant with 20 or 30 years of history. The food is all good. Very fresh. It’s both cheap and plentiful.

Hsu Chia-yu
Restaurant PR manager
We launched this buffet because we want customers to enjoy themselves as much as they want without pressure or time constraints. The most noticeable effect of the unlimited dining time policy is the return of customers; about 20% are repeat customers.

In an era of high prices for the food services industry, these restaurants are seizing market share by offering high value for money. They’re not only a lifesaver for people living pay check to pay check, but also a good way of saving money.

Tainan sesame oil chicken restaurant gives free soup refills

On a cold day, a bowl of warm sesame oil chicken warms the heart and soul. One restaurant in Tainan makes its broth with locally raised chicken, quality sesame oil, and a unique blend of Chinese herbs. Customers can refill their soup for free, ensuring that students from the neighboring school can have their fill. The restaurant even says people can add soup up to 800 times! Let’s take a look at this all-you-can-drink sesame chicken soup.

This simmering pot of soup is made with local sesame oil, fresh chicken, and a unique blend of Chinese herbs. A bowl of this is sure to warm you up on a cold day.

The chef first puts cabbage in the bowl, then adds big chunks of chicken. This restaurant is in Tainan’s East District, right next to a school. Customers can refill their soup for free, ensuring that students leave with a full belly. On curtains and staff uniforms, it even says people can refill their soup up to 800 times.

Customer
Chicken soup restaurant
I refill it at least three times because their soup is really good. It warms you up.

Owner
Chicken soup restaurant
Some customers love soup. They might feel bad when they’ve already asked to add soup two or three times, and they’ll ask whether it’s okay to get more. I told the young students that they can refill their soup for free up to 800 times.

This steaming sesame oil chicken rice is made with rice wine and topped with a fresh egg fried in sesame oil. Worried that some students would not like the flavor of rice wine, the soup is seasoned with sweet Chinese herbs that cover any taste of alcohol.

Owner
Chicken soup restaurant
My wife used Chinese herbs when making food for banquets. When the weather is cold, of course more people want to have warm soup.

People line up at the restaurant even before it opens, making sure they can have their soup as soon as possible. From the first sip, a bowl of this sesame oil chicken warms the heart and soul. To make sure customers leave satisfied, they offer nearly unlimited refills. As winter comes, it’s no wonder people keep coming back for more.

Police urge drivers to keep going at stroke of midnight

Fireworks on New Year’s Eve are a must-see for lots of people, nut how far would you go if you couldn’t make it? A video clip taken on the highway on the big night recently went viral. In it, drivers slowed down to catch a glimpse of the fireworks at a nearby amusement park, to the horror of highway police. They were urged to move on or pay up, since driving way below the minimum speed limit could significantly increase the risk of collisions.

Fireworks light up the sky at the stroke of midnight. This was the New Year’s Eve countdown party at Janfusun Fancyworld in Yunlin, joined by some 20,000 revelers. But they weren’t the only ones enjoying the spectacle.

The national highway was dotted in red lights from slowed down cars. But there was hardly a traffic jam.

- All of you in the front: the minimum speed limit is 60kph. Keep coasting through and I’ll fine all of you at once.

The highway police urged drivers to accelerate and move on. This was taken on National Freeway No. 3, along Gukeng Township in Yunlin. Every year on New Year’s Eve, the police would remind the public not to linger on the highway, but drivers still do otherwise, just to get a glimpse of the fireworks.

Chang Li-jen
Highway police
While the fireworks show was in process, some drivers did slow down, but not so much that they’d gone below the minimum speed limit; nor did they park illegally or cause accidents. However, should the driver violate traffic rules, we would then issue a fine between NT$3,000 and NT$6,000, as stipulated in the Road Traffic Management and Penalty Act, for every instance of violation.

Some drivers may not think much of slowing down to enjoy the view along the highway, but the police reminded the public that doing so could significantly increase the risk of collision with cars behind, and so they tightened enforcement on the last day of the year.

Pop diva Jolin Tsai stuns fans with jawdropping staging at concerts

The Taiwanese queen of pop Jolin Tsai has just wrapped up three spectacular nights at the Taipei Dome, and fans are still buzzing from the mythical-themed spectacle. From towering beasts to a four-ton golden pig that literally sprayed money into the crowd, the concert was nothing short of a fantasy blockbuster. With jaw-dropping visuals and powerful messages, the show proved once again why she’s at the top of the game.

Jolin transformed into an earth spirit atop a 30-meter-long “Serpent of Desire” slithering around the Taipei Dome, a scene hailed as one of the most over-the-top concert spectacles ever.

In the second chapter, Jolin summoned the “Golden Pig of Greed,” which continuously spat out “pleasure banknotes,” pushing the concert to another explosive high.

The “Golden Pig of Greed” allegedly cost NT$36 million to build and weighs 4 tons. The concert featured more than 20 giant mythical beasts, including a “Celebratory Bull” and a “Rainbow-Winged Pegasus,” which turned the venue into a full-scale monster carnival of mythical beasts.

Equally breathtaking was the “Book of Truth,” from whose turning pages Jolin slowly emerged, drawing gasps from the audience.

Dressed in a skin-tight snakeskin battle outfit, Jolin transformed into the “Mother of Pleasure,” backed by a seven-story-tall “Daughter of Pleasure,” to deliver her manifesto to fans: “You are the garden. You are pleasure itself.”

The pop diva reportedly spent NT$900 million on everything from stage design to the massive props that left audiences in awe. But as a key spokesperson for early bedtime, Jolin admitted that staying up late for three nights straight came with a price.

Jolin Tsai
Singer
My sleep schedule is a bit messed up right now. I really hope I can do concerts at 5 p.m., or even 2 in the afternoon. Before the show, around 7 p.m., I suddenly fell sleep, so everyone turned off the lights and I took a 15-minute nap. Even today, I feel a little untethered, like after the adrenaline drops, it feels a bit like a hangover.

With the concert series coming to a stunning close, Jolin said she could happily perform a few more shows, if the stars align when it comes to booking venues.
