Taoyuan Hakka Affairs Bureau opens registration for Hakka culture tours

The Taoyuan City Government Hakka Affairs Bureau has opened online registration for the final session of its annual Hakka culture excursions, titled ‘Tianguang Small Trip’. The program offers three distinct themed routes designed to explore the local Hakka heritage and street stories in the Zhongli District.

The routes include a ‘Craft Line’ featuring handmade knife forging, a ‘Culture Line’ focused on historical street walks and observation journals, and a ‘Tea Fragrance Line’ involving traditional snack making. Participants will visit various local landmarks, including the ‘Lixiao Story Forest’ and the ‘Lijing Town’ arts base, as well as the ‘Tianguang Grocery Store’, a curated brand showcasing Hakka local products and crafts.

Registration is available online on a first-come, first-served basis. This series marks the conclusion of the annual tour program which runs from February to November.
