Tourexpi
Kuala
Lumpur Office of T.T.A curated this initiative, inviting Muslim students and
key opinion leaders in Taiwan to participate. Through firsthand
experiences of Taiwan's diverse culture and Muslim-friendly
attractions, the event encouraged more tourism partners to enhance their
Muslim-friendly environments.
The
one-day tour routes spanned Central and Northern Taiwan, showcasing Taiwan's unique
local charm. In the route of Central Taiwan, participants
visited Dajia, famous for its taro production, where they joined a taro pastry
DIY workshop hosted by Master A-Tsung. They enjoyed crafting taro pastries with
delicate, multi-layered textures. Lunch was served at Noodles Origin, a
certified Muslim Friendly Environment offering halal noodle dishes rooted in
over 80 years of noodle making techniques. After a satisfying meal, the group
traveled to Miaoli to ride the Old Mountain Line Rail Bike, passing through the
scenic Light and Shadow Tunnel that tells the story of Taiwan's railways.
They also crossed a 33-meter-high iron bridge and admired the historical
remains of Longteng Bridge. The breathtaking views and delicious local cuisine
left participants deeply impressed.
Another
route focused on Northern Taiwan's Yilan. Participants first visited
the "AGRIOZ MUSEUM," Taiwan's first preserved fruit tourism
factory, where they learned about the famous Yilan specialty—Oval Kumquat
preserves—and the production process. Lunch featured an array of vegetarian
dishes at Sun Hope Vegan Restaurant. In the afternoon, participants headed to
Sinbow Leisure Farm, where they experienced picking green onions in the fields
and making their own Sanshing Green Onion Pies. These pies, packed with
generous fillings and a crispy exterior, were a delight to savor. The farm also
offered close interactions with adorable animals. Participants had fun, enjoyed
delicious food, and captured stunning scenic shots, discovering a different
side of Taiwan's beautiful tourism spots.
T.T.A
emphasized that to ensure the dietary needs and religious practices of Muslim
participants were fully respected, all tour activities included halal-certified
meals and experiences. Participants also had the opportunity to interact with
other Muslim friends in Taiwan, sharing their impressions of Taiwan's Muslim-friendly
environment with family and friends through social media.
T.T.A
stated that through these two rounds of experience activities, more Muslim
participants became ambassadors for promoting Taiwan's tourism. They
shared Taiwan's unique charm and its embrace of cultural diversity
with their friends and social media followers. By leveraging personal influence
and the power of social platforms, Taiwan continues to build an
international image as a Muslim-friendly destination. Moving forward, T.T.A
will dedicate more resources to improve the Muslim-friendly tourism environment,
aiming to attract more Muslim travelers to visit Taiwan. Travelers are
