[Reporter Lin Xinying/Taipei Report] A Xiang, Yang Xiuhui, Li Yaying, and Lemon hosted FTV's "New Era of Variety" and guest Zhang Wenqi recently traveled to Hsinchu City, rode electric bicycles along the 17-kilometer coastline, and went to Xiangshan Wetland to look for the legendary "billions of stars." Although they did not find the stars, they were attracted by the full number of fiddler crabs. Li Yaying revealed that this was not her first time here. She had also gone to Xiangshan to shoot photo albums in the past. She even posed for photos with her signature love pose, which was in contrast to the funny poses of Yang Xiuhui and Zhang Wenqi.

The group then experienced Hsinchu's annual event "Zhongyuan City God Festival" and followed the capital city god on his tour. Li Yaying, who participated for the first time, was eye-opening to the lively scene. A Xiang even walked into the main sedan team and called the scene "so shocking and spectacular." Everyone also happened to meet the President and Hsinchu Mayor Gao Hongan during the event and felt the enthusiasm of the local people in participating in the traditional festival.

The program then went to a rice noodle factory that has been passed down for three generations to actually experience the ancient method of making sun-dried rice noodle. Compared with machine-dried rice noodles, sun-dried rice noodles are more resilient, which made Yang Xiuhui say, "It's really God's masterpiece." Unexpectedly, when it was Li Yaying's turn to operate, she accidentally used too much force while throwing and cutting the rice noodles, and actually threw the rice noodles directly off the table. She was so frightened that she turned pale on the spot.
Seeing Li Yaying's panic, the scene even deliberately shouted for her to pay 5,000 yuan, asking her to quickly say: "Then I will buy it and give it to the audience!" The reaction was cute and true, making the scene full of laughter.
In addition to experiencing traditional culture, the program also led the host group to visit the area around the City God's Temple, where they tasted local delicacies such as steamed cakes, ancient-style pork ribs, and chicken drumsticks. Finally, they cooled off with shredded winter melon and grass jelly. Along the way from the coastline, the city god's circuit to the rice noodle factory and Miaokou delicacies, Li Yaying and Axiang also became "Hsinchu Tourism Promotion Ambassadors", sharing this location experience full of local characteristics.
