The last "Taichung Citizen's Picnic Day" during the term of Mayor Lu Xiuyan of Taichung will be held on December 6. It will be held simultaneously in 29 administrative districts of the city. The number of picnic spots has been expanded to 58 for the first time, and the scale has reached a new high.

In 2022, Taichung City held the "Taichung Citizen Picnic Day" for the first time. At the beginning, only Central Park was included. Since people from all over the country expressed that they should not only benefit the citizens of Xitun, the Taichung City Government gradually expanded the locations. This year is the fifth edition, and the locations have been expanded to 58 locations.

The city government stated that the theme of this year's event is "Entering the Grass and Approaching Life", and it also launched the first "Picnic Site Checkout Challenge" and launched a photo and punch-in event to win a round-trip air ticket to Japan. Mayor Lu invited citizens and friends to walk into the grass together, slow down their pace, and let this urban greenery absorb everyone’s hard work and fatigue throughout the year.

The city government pointed out that the Taichung Citizen Picnic Day was launched in 2022. From the first edition starting from Central Park to the fourth edition combined with the Taichung Green Beauty Picture, the number of participants has increased year by year. Last year, it exceeded 260,000, setting a new high.

The Building and Construction Bureau stated that this year’s picnic day has two major highlights: “space expansion” and “time expansion”. The event continues the spirit of "Every district has a picnic day" and combines the characteristics of parks in each district with local culture, allowing citizens to enjoy picnics near their homes.

From now on, people can go to designated picnic spots to take photos and check in, participate in the "Picnic Spot Spotting Challenge", and have a chance to win gifts such as round-trip air tickets to Japan. The city government hopes to take this opportunity to encourage everyone to visit various district parks in advance to explore urban green spaces that are often overlooked, so that the picnic day can be extended from a single-day event to a green space exploration trip.
