The February 2009 issue of the Taipei Pictorial is now available. Published by the Department of Information and Tourism (TPEDOIT), the latest issue features flowers and springtime events in Taipei.
The topics in this issue include Yangminshan Flower Festival, locations to observe blooming flowers, as well as tips and information on buying flowers at local flower markets.
In addition to a feature article on the annual flower season in Yangminshan, the issue also offers three “insider spots” for flower watchers to enjoy specific types of flowers, including:
- cherry blossoms along Fuxing 3rd Rd. at Beitou District
- calliopsis at Dajia Riverside Park
- roses at Shilin Presidential Residence
Taking into account the possible rise of demand for floriculture products during Valentines’ Day, Taipei Pictorial also introduces readers to four major flower bazaars in Taipei.
These markets include Jianguo Holiday Flower Market, Taipei Flowers Auction Corporation, Taipei Pot Plant Auction, and Shezi Flower Market. Readers will also find many tips on selecting flowers in this issue.
Readers can pick up a free copy of the magazine at the following locations: - Taipei City Hall (information counter on the first floor) - Taipei Visitor Information Center (all branches) - MRT stations - Offices of city-affiliated agencies
Residents can also read the online version at the website of TPEDOIT (http://www.tpedoit.taipei.gov.tw). For more information, please call 1999, ext. 7564 or 7570.
