Bears spotted in Yinchuan’s commercial district!* Citizens who love dining in Yinchuan’s commercial area never expected to enjoy night market treats while being accompanied by an adorable bear. To thank consumers who have long supported Yinchuan’s cuisine, the district specially launched a series of marketing activities this August, including the “Taipei Shopping Festival,” “Bears Love Good Food,” and “Speak Love Loud, Eat with Gusto,” aiming to make everyone’s summer vacation joyful.

Inspired by the Formosan black bear — a species unique to Taiwan — and integrating various elements with the concept of night market culture, the mascot “Ningxia Bear” was created exclusively for Yinchuan Commercial District. Its black fur symbolizes the vibrant nightlife of the market, which operates from evening until late at night. (Photo provided by Taipei City Department of Commerce)

On Father’s Day, August 8 — also the first day of the “Bears Love Good Food” campaign — to celebrate the occasion, night market vendor “Pork Liver Rong Zi” invited Ningxia Bear to be its guest shop manager for the day and launched the “Speak Love Loud, Eat with Gusto” event. The eye-catching Ningxia Bear attracted plenty of customers for the shop and encouraged kids to bring their dads to the Pork Liver Rong Zi stall to express their love out loud. The owner then offered a special combo of a rice dumpling and mixed soup for 88 TWD (original price 100 TWD), with a limited run of 50 sets selling out quickly. Both fathers and children enjoyed the delicious food and shared even more love.

During August, dining in the commercial district means seeing “Ningxia Bear Inflatable Figures” hanging all over the streets — the very first district mascot introduced by Yinchuan Commercial District. To help everyone get to know “Ningxia Bear” better, a “Bears Love Good Food” campaign was launched, offering chances to win prizes through spending milestones.From now until August 31, every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, spend 50 TWD at district shops to earn one sticker. Collect six stickers to enter a lucky draw at either of the two service desks in the district for prizes such as Thousand-Year Banquet tickets, food discount coupons, and Ningxia Bear inflatable figures.

To collect points faster, everyone should take part in “See the Bear More”: taking a photo with the super-cute Ningxia Bear costume earns you an extra point. Moreover, during the campaign period, Ningxia Bear makes scheduled appearances on the hour — so shoppers are encouraged to seize the chance for that perfect photo. Better yet,Ningxia Bear will also represent the district at future events, getting up close and personal with the public. Look out for its super-cute presence at events like “2014 Fu Datong – Moon God Ties the Knot, Dancing in the Rainy Night Blossoms” or “2014 Taiwan International Food Exhibition.”
