Pingtung welcomed a long-awaited heavy rain on the morning of the 6th. While people were delighted, the International Colored Rice Art Festival "3D Bear Big Colored Rice Field," which was in full swing, became slippery and muddy due to the rain. The organizers urgently announced on their official Facebook page on the 6th: no public access in the morning !

The Pingtung County Government stated that although only the morning session is temporarily closed to the public, whether visitors can enter still depends on the rain conditions on site. Moreover, as the muddy grounds still need to be tidied up, the reopening time has not yet been announced for the safety of visitors.

The news of the morning closure immediately sparked complaints from many netizens. Some said they had arrived early to queue up for the shuttle bus, but had to wait idly on site after the closure, dampening their enthusiasm for the trip. However, some netizens defended the move, saying it was to ensure visitor safety. The organizers stated that if reopening occurs, they will announce it immediately on the official Facebook and LINE accounts, and hoped the public would understand.

Update: The organizers announced at 11:46 am that due to unstable weather conditions and intermittent heavy rain, and out of consideration for public safety, the park will be closed for the entire day on the 6th
