Taoyuan Martyrs' Shrine, Daxi Old Street, and Divine Trees of Lala Mountain work together create the impression of Japanese tourism

The number of Japanese tourists who came to Taiwan reached nearly 1.5 million last year. To expand the number of Japanese tourists, the Department of Tourism of Taoyuan City Government adopts the theme of "Finding exotic NIPPON in Taoyuan" by incorporating the concept of "Exploring Japanese Memory" to highlight stories of Taoyuan attractions. Whether it is Taoyuan Martyrs' Shrine, Daxi Old Street or Lala Mountain’s Divine Trees, these tourist attractions are all infused with Japanese styles, which will touch the hearts of Japanese tourists.
 

Taoyuan has been establishing a tourism partnership with Japan through diversified exchanges and interactions

Through this promotion activity, the Department of Tourism of Taoyuan City Government first invited Japanese bloggers to visit Taoyuan’s tourist attractions in person, held the "Taoyuan Tourism Sharing Conference" in Tokyo, visited the travel agencies and the authorities of the tourism industry to expand the benefits of tourism promotion activities. As Taoyuan City and Chiba Prefecture of Japan are sister cities, this activity also allowed Taoyuan City to hold sightseeing talks with Chiba Prefecture to encourage the bilateral tourism business opportunities.
