In response to the government’s tourism promotion and blessing activities, the Chi Mei Museum in Tainan launched the “Tainan Locals Guide the Way – Friends No Reservation Needed” program, which received an enthusiastic response. However,it was reported that some people thought it was free and tried to enter without buying a ticket, leading to an awkward situation.The museum specifically added a clarification on its official website: “No reservation needed ≠ free of charge,” and also advises visitors to come on weekdays to avoid long queues.

The Chi Mei Museum recently noted that Tainan, after experiencing a major earthquake, has regained its composure, moved forward, and restored its daily life.The Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Tainan City Government organized the “Stand by Tainan – We’re with Tainan” tourism promotion and blessing event,receiving care and messages from all over. The Chi Mei Museum, which has long been supported by the public, also hopes to contribute its part. Thus, embodying the hospitable spirit of Tainan locals, it launched the “Tainan Locals Guide the Way – Friends No Reservation Needed” program.

The museum stated that the program is not only for residents of Tainan City, but also extends to their friends from out of town.From March 23 to June 30, any resident of Tainan City or any student studying in Tainan City can enter the museum without a reservation by presenting proof of identity, and they can also bring along their friends to enjoy the no-reservation, direct-ticketing service, with a maximum group size of 10 people.That means, as long as there is one Tainan local among up to 10 people, all visitors can enter the museum without a reservation.

After the program was launched, it received an enthusiastic response, but it was reported that some people thought it was free and tried to enter without buying a ticket, leading to an awkward situation. The museum specifically added a clarification on its official website: “No reservation needed ≠ free of charge,” while also stating, “To protect the collections and ensure air quality, overall visitor capacity remains limited. We recommend visiting on weekdays to avoid long queues.”▲%肌疤?先舜?罚?门笥衙庠ぴ肌弊ò杆得鳌＃ㄍ迹?∽怨偻?┘/strong)
