The mascot "Taiwan Dar," specially designed by Japan for Taiwan, is finally coming "home" this weekend to meet fans in person. In addition to appearing at the 2014 Taiwan Precision City Road Race to be held on Sunday (the 14th) in front of the Presidential Office Plaza, Taiwan Dar will also host photo sessions at three locations in Taipei on Saturday morning, giving fans an up-close and personal experience.

Japan, in gratitude for Taiwan

Before attending the running event, Taiwan Da held a “Fan Photo Meet-and-Greet” on Saturday (the 13th) morning. Starting at 9:15 AM at National Taiwan University, the event continued at 10:30 AM at 228 Memorial Park and 11:45 AM at Xingtian Temple, with each stop lasting only 45 minutes. Fans who show up can also receive exclusive Taiwan Da small gifts. Additionally, Taiwan Da’s visit to Taiwan is limited to Taipei City only, with no fan meet-ups planned in other counties or cities.
