Travel Center / Comprehensive Report

Thanks to favorable weather, the "Yellow Duck" that substituted from Kaohsiung to Taoyuan was finally successfully inflated on the 8th. On the 9th, it attracted a large crowd of visitors, with nearly 220,000 people coming to the duck exhibition area. However, it is a pity that the Taoyuan Land Art Festival will come to an end on the 10th. At the same time, due to the strengthening of the northeast monsoon, the organizing committee plans to conduct the deflation operation and bid farewell to the duck at 3 pm.

On the 15th day of the event, it was the first day the duck returned to the pond to welcome the weekend holiday, and the event also entered its countdown. The public seized the time to flock in for a visit. The total number of visitors on the 9th exceeded 280,000, with nearly 220,000 at the duck exhibition area, over 22,000 at the Dian Dian exhibition area, over 21,000 at the Lotus exhibition area, and many visitors at the Xinwu Pond main stage, Water Alley, and Fanjiang exhibition areas. In total, over 2.12 million people have visited in 15 days, breaking the 2 million visitor mark.

As for the much-watched duck, according to data provided by the Central Weather Bureau and meteorologist Dr. Peng Chi-ming, starting from the second half of the day tomorrow (10th), the northeast monsoon will strengthen. To ensure the safety of the duck, the organizing committee plans to hold a farewell event for the duck and carry out related deflation operations at 3 pm tomorrow. Therefore, those who want to see the duck should seize the last opportunity.
.
As the event is nearing its end, public transportation shuttle services will increase from the original 70 runs per day last weekend to 105 runs. Additionally, 20 more vehicles will be on standby and deployed flexibly based on the situation on-site to accommodate the large crowds and traffic during the weekend. The public is encouraged to make use of these services and take the opportunity to visit Taoyuan County's Xinwu Township tomorrow, the last day, to view the outstanding works of artists from home and abroad.
