Taipei City Government

The Department of Information and Tourism (TPEDOIT) is holding the “Plan your own trip in Taipei” event to discover more fun ways to travel in the city. Individuals are invited to submit their suggestions on how to spend a day in Taipei that allow people to feel the vibes and charisma of the city.

To promote the event, TPEDOIT invited travel bloggers to share their stories, the most unforgettable and touching moments about Taipei, and take the public on an exploration of the city from the perspective of love, cuisine, urban life, music, humanity, and ecology. The special guests include Kenworker, gourmand Danny Wen, nature writer Liu Ka-shiang, cellist Chang Chen-chieh, among others.
The suggestions should be expressed in a 1,000-word essay. Pictures or illustrations are also welcome to complement the article. Works submission period runs between February 25 (9AM) and March 19 (23:59PM). Prizes can be as enticing as an iPhone 6!
The works will be evaluated in two stages. First a panel of judge comprising three bloggers will select ten works to enter the second stage, when an online vote by the public will determine who the winner is from the shortlisted candidates. The vote will be conducted from March 25 through April 6.
