Tourism Bureau Director Chen Meixiu stated that in recent years, Taichung has been actively promoting international marketing to showcase the city's culture and aesthetic lifestyle. Each district has its own Picnic Day this year, highlighting the unique lifestyle of Taichung’s citizens. "Elegant Picnic Day," co-hosted with the Daya District Office, takes on the theme "Elegance, Breeze, Music, and Life," encouraging attendees to bring light snacks and enjoy the natural scenery and music at Sanhe Park. The event will feature saxophone performances and light music, blending art and life.
On the event day, visitors can look for iconic art-inspired locations within the park and take cosplay photos with family and friends. Uploading these photos to the designated post on the Play Taichung Facebook fan page allows them to exchange for gifts on-site. Additionally, 200 limited-edition "Elegant Picnic Day" picnic mats will be given out on a first-come, first-served basis. Those who bring their own picnic mats will also receive a special souvenir to encourage eco-friendly actions.
