The teddy bear craze that began in Taichung is still going strong. Aside from some teddy bears taking short trips around central Taiwan to places such as Taichung Park, Fengyuan Lantern Festival, and Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village, Qiuhonggu Valley’s Three A.House is also hosting the “Three Bears Bring Luck — Welcome to Taichung for the New Year” in-depth teddy bear exhibition from now until February 16. The event will not only showcase handcrafted teddy bears from around the world and hidden-edition teddy bears, but will also feature a display and charity auction of rare teddy bears at the Twin Oaks Three A Architecture Clubhouse.

Organized by Taichung developer Twin Oaks and the Taichung City Government, the “Three Bears Bring Luck — Welcome to Taichung for the New Year” event brings together previously adopted teddy bears displayed separately at Qiuhonggu Valley, Cingdao Boulevard, and Shin Kong Mitsukoshi, along with the exclusive hidden-edition teddy bear designed by renowned designer Xiao Qingyang for Twin Oaks. A brand-new exhibition has been curated, featuring a collection of handcrafted plush teddy bears from around the world preserved by the Teddy Bear Association, as well as a 19th-century-style teddy bear sewing machine. This allows visitors who were previously unable to see the teddy bears at various locations to enjoy all the highlights in one place.
