Taipei Easy Go

Taipei City Government's Department of Information Tourism (DOIT) introduces five themed routes to experience Taipei for potential visitors from Singapore and Malaysia. DOIT Commissioner Yang Hsiao-tung, Malaysian singer Fish Leong, the spokeswoman, attended the tourism campaign named "Taipei Easy Go" on February 10th.
The routes represent different aspects of Taipei city. The hot spring route is excellent for visitors who are looking for a relaxing vacation. Nature and plant lovers could consider the Yangmingshan route, while fashion enthusiasts go shopping in the metropolitan areas such as Chung Hsiao and Hsin Yi districts.
Yang remarked on the nostalgic route which features artistic and historical sites such as Spot Taipei and Astoria coffee shop for visitors who have interests in Taipei in the olden days.
Leong has been living in Taipei for more than a decade. She recommended shopping in the small shops located in the alleys of Chung Hsiao East Road, snacks from Tonghua night market, beef noodle and shaved ice with mango on Yong Kang street. Besides food and shopping, she added that the establishment of 24-hour bookstore shows Taipei a city that never sleeps.
Over a dozen of travel agents from Singapore and Malaysia gathered in the press conference to meet local representatives from travel agencies and airlines and discuss tourism promotion on both sides. China Airline announced that the company will introduce travel packages with discounts later this month.
DOIT expects "Taipei Easy Go" campaign to attract 12,000 tourists from Singapore and Malaysia.
