The third "Lohas Bear Urban Carnival," themed "Teddy Bears and the City Make a Date," concluded its Taichung exhibition on the 14th and launched a one-month indoor and outdoor exhibition starting on the 16th at the Shilin Official Residence in Taipei. This is the first time Taipei has gathered a hundred life-size large-scale Lohas Bear installation artworks for a free outdoor exhibition. The display features uniquely designed Lohas Bears created by artists and various companies. Among the highlights at the Shilin Official Residence event are the specially crafted President and Madame Chiang Bears, as well as a 2.5-meter-tall Lohas Green Sculpture Bear.

Dual-city joint exhibition — the "Lohas Bear Urban Carnival" arrives at the Shilin Official Residence in Taipei, where a hundred uniquely designed Lohas Bears will appear throughout the park. The most eye-catching displays include the hidden bears of former President Chiang Kai-shek and Madame Chiang, which complement the flowers of the Shilin Official Residence. A 2.5-meter-tall Lohas Green Sculpture Bear, specially created using horticultural techniques, is also featured. During the exhibition period, another highlight is a super-large 7-meter inflatable Lohas Bear that will interact closely with visitors.

During the Lohas Bear exhibition, the organizers have also invited artists from 20 countries around the world to hold an "International Artists’ Bear Special Exhibition" inside the venue. To encourage family participation, the organizers have planned "LOVE Little Bear DIY Craft Workshops" on January 23 and 31, offering both children and adults a chance to experience the joy of making teddy bears.
