Happy Sales kick off in New Taipei City
The treasure-digging sales, one of the first shopping months’ activities in New Taipei City, was held from December 17th to 18th at Banchiao Rail Station B1 Plaza. More than 30 companies were invited to give citizens a chance to shop with low discounts including lucky draw, free lucky bags for buying $100NTD, and one-dollar sales. New Taipei City Major Eric Chu also showed up and shopped with everyone.
According to Mayor Chu, this sale is different from others in various ways because it combines different places such as retailers, department stores, and agriculture department within the government to make it more complete so citizens can have the lowest discount.
Mayor Chu also bought several shirts, special heat-up T-shirt, socks, and black beans to show his support for local and traditional businesses. Other city councilors including Meifan Lui and Director of Economic Development Gentin Jen also participated to show their support for some local stands like Yinga Pottery, Jifentia Bakery, and New Taipei City’s Wenshan Tea…etc.
