The sweltering summer heat signals the approaching exam season. In addition to enduring the heat, students must also work hard to prepare for their exams. Some business operators have come up with an ingenious idea: they have launched special packages that include specially brewed chicken essence, holy water from Beigang Chaotian Temple for blessings, and a night’s stay in a refined guest room — all aimed at capturing the "student exam market."

Specially Brewed Chicken Essence to Replenish Students’ Energy and Spirit

Students facing a major life milestone often experience a loss of appetite and struggle to concentrate on their studies. The Taipei Dynasty Hotel, located in the Dunhua commercial district, has launched the “No. 1 Student Blessing Package” in collaboration with the 80-year-old store “Lao Xie Zhen” on Dihua Street. The package offers specially brewed chicken essence for student guests. This zero-cholesterol chicken essence is rich in amino acids and collagen. Drinking one bowl in the morning and one in the evening can help replenish vitality and provide the nutrients and stamina needed for day-and-night studying.

Blessed by the Heavenly Goddess of Beigang Chaotian Temple — Holy Water for Safety and Academic Success

In addition to physical energy support, some students may feel restless and overly anxious before exams. Others may seek spiritual comfort through religion. The business operators also offer “holy water” blessed by Beigang Chaotian Temple. The incense pouch, which has been blessed and purified by fire under the Heavenly Goddess of Beigang Chaotian Temple, provides restless students with spiritual solace, helping to calm the mind and refresh the brain.

Additionally, student guests receive complimentary access to the hotel’s gym, sauna, and other on-site facilities, allowing them to relax and exercise appropriately while preparing for their exams. There is also a free exclusive study room and laundry discounts, ensuring students can focus entirely on their exams without distractions.

This package is available from June 15 to July 31. Starting at NT$2,499 per room, it includes one night in a refined guest room, three servings of specially brewed chicken essence from the 80-year-old Lao Xie Zhen store, holy water from Beigang Chaotian Temple, a dedicated study room for students, herbal nutrition snack bars from Sunrider, 20% off laundry services, and late check-out privileges.
