Have you ever seen edible gold paper? Dare you taste the “yellow springs” from the underworld? Following their Halloween “Ghost Feast,” Tianlai Resort has launched a humorous yet tasty Ghost Month afternoon tea during the lunar seventh month. Tianlai Resort in Yangmingshan explains that the creepy-looking thousand-layer cake resembling gold paper and the golden-yellow juice reminiscent of the netherworld are especially fitting for Ghost Month. The “gold paper cake” is actually a delicate, fluffy thousand-layer cake with paper-thin layers, topped with golden edible gold powder and inscribed with “Prosperity & Promotion” on the side — not only is the appearance playful, but the taste is richly layered. As for the “yellow springs” drink, it’s actually made from naturally vitamin C-rich orange juice and banana milk, which is high in vitamin B2 and antioxidants, resulting in a smooth texture. Beyond the humorous KUSO concept, it also carries wishes for prosperity and added nutritional benefits for Tianlai guests.

The summer’s most family-friendly water activity fears being overshadowed by Ghost Month, so Tianlai is seizing the tail end of the summer vacation with group purchase promotions and credit card holder deals. They’re offering a lunch buffet at the Splendid Hall plus access to the SPA Water World for just NT$799. Multiple credit card promotions even feature buy-one-get-one-free deals, boosting sales by over 30%, showing that people are becoming less wary of Ghost Month. Plus, Tianlai Resort in Yangmingshan is close to the city and home to Northern Taiwan’s largest spring-fed ecological park. Surrounded by 6,000 trees on a vast mountainside, guests can enjoy the cool SPA Water World, along with this summer’s hottest attractions like wind surfing and ice瀑布 tracing. Throughout the entire seventh lunar month (August 17–September 15), they’re also giving away the “Prosperity & Promotion Bring Good Luck” Ghost Month afternoon tea as a bonus. With just three weeks left of summer vacation and Ghost Month upon us, businesses are pulling out all the stops with humorous promotions to boost sales.
