When a tourist travels abroad, he or she will often seek out spots marked by a sign saying “best photography spot” near well-known locations or tourist attractions to grab a shot.
To promote places providing visitors opportunities for taking the best pictures, the Department of Information and Tourism (TPEDOIT) will be holding the “Modern Taipei – from 1930 and Onward” event, inviting internationally-renowned photographer Masai Kyo to select 12 locations across Taipei worthy of this honor.
The campaign promoting Taipei’s best photography spots will last from noon on January 20 to February 21.
In collaboration with Sony Taiwan, TPEDOIT will organize 3 “Modern Taipei x Sony” photo toures/classes on January 23, 25, and 27. Participants who take a picture at any of the 12 locations and uploading the shot to the “Modern Taipei Online Photography Exhibition” will have a chance to win a Sony digital camera!
During this period, individuals who scan the QR code on three or more signs identifying the 12 selected photo spots will be eligible for a free coffee at any FamilyMart across the island (a total of 1,000 cups will be available for redemption).
In addition, those who successfully collect six or more stamps in their activity brochure can visit the tourist information centers (at either MRT Taipei Main Station, MRT Ximen Station, or MRT World Trade Center/Taipei 101 Station) to exchange for a limited edition 2016 calendar. Only 750 calendars are available, so hurry!
For more information, please visit the official Chinese activity website: (http://moderntaipei.travel.taipei). Activity brochures are available at any of the 12 photography spots, 9 tourist information centers, and 7 information stations, as well as through download from the aforementioned website.
