With Christmas approaching, all 13 Eslite stores across Taiwan have also been decorated for the season, immersing visitors in Jimmy Liao’s colorful picture book world. The Xinyi store is adorned with illustrations from the picture book "Really? Really!", featuring a Jimmy Liao-themed gashapon machine that brings surprises; the Dunhua store takes inspiration from the picture book "Starry Starry Night" as its theme, creating an AR Christmas wishing tree in the outdoor plaza. By using the app to make a wish to the Christmas tree, you may have a chance to win great gifts such as a “RIMOWA TOPAS suitcase”.
