Chiayi County's "Zou Travel Season" links the Alishan National Forest Recreation Area, Highway 18 and Tsou tribal tourism spots into 3 travel zones. Visitors can plan mountain trips based on their schedules, complete stamp tasks and enter draws for 600 prizes.

The event brings Chiayi's mountain tourism resources into one exploration route, covering forest scenery and nearby attractions in Alishan, mountain trips along Highway 18 and visits to Tsou tribal communities. Routes can be combined for short visits or multi-day trips, with 9 local businesses offering dining, lodging, recreation and experience deals.

Visitors can join the official "Slow Travel Chiayi" LINE@ account to collect digital stamps and unlock tasks along the routes. The event incorporates Pikmin Bloom elements, allowing players to explore game content and themed postcards during their trips. Completing designated tasks offers chances to win officially licensed Pikmin merchandise, "Slow Travel Chiayi Collectible Card Box Toy", Nintendo Switch 2 and a complete collectible card box toy set.

Beyond sightseeing, the event connects dining, lodging, recreation and experiences, allowing visitors to add different activities and spending options after completing mountain routes. The stamp tasks therefore extend the trip beyond individual attractions to food, accommodation and local experiences.

"Chiayi County's Zou Travel Season" runs through November 1. Participants can join the official "Slow Travel Chiayi" LINE@ account (ID: chiayitravel) to check stamp, task and draw information.
