The Guanghua Digital Plaza, dubbed Taipei Akihabara, will be celebrating its 7th anniversary with a range of sale events and fun-packed activities between July 18 and August 9.

The annual consumer electronics fiesta will kick-off with a race-walking competition at 10:50 AM on July 18. The first 70 visitors to queue up for the contest will be eligible to participate in the game. Seven winners bring home an Acer mini PC each and the other 63 participants receive a NT$100 coupon.

Throughout the anniversary celebration, individuals will get an NT$100 coupon for every purchase of NT$1,000 (Uniform invoices are required and each individual is limited to one coupon a day). Customers will also be able to redeem a raffle ticket for every purchase of NT$1,000; one uniform invoice can redeem up to a maximum of 10 tickets. Winner of the grand prize--an Acer laptop—will be determined on August 9.

There is also an Early Bird gift for the first 50 visitors to redeem their raffle ticket on Saturday and Sunday—a mobile phone holder. Come while supply lasts!

To attract consumers from across the spectrum, the Market Administration Office has arranged various theme activities at Guanghua Digital Plaza over weekends: online games (July 18-19), family XBOX fun (July 25-26), electronics expo (August 1-2), and online game party (July 18-August 2).
