Holiday festivities and transport incentives in Taiwan and 홍

Overview

During late September and October 2026, Taiwan and Hong Kong implemented various cultural activities and public service incentives to coincide with seasonal festivities and holidays.

In Taiwan, celebrations included cultural exhibitions at Chengmei Cultural Park focusing on rural traditions and seasonal food. During the Guangfu Festival, the Highway Bureau introduced discounts on national highway bus services, with certain registered members able to receive up to 43% off. Service frequency was also increased to manage passenger demand following Typhoon Rose.

In Hong Kong, the National Day holiday featured free admission to several science and nature museums, as well as discounts at Ocean Park. Public transportation sectors also participated in holiday promotions, including free services on the Star Ferry and trams. Additionally, the MTR offered a 50% fare discount for passengers using Octopus cards or QR codes during ‘Appreciation Day’ to assist commuters with travel expenses.
