今年中秋特別結合民間故事與節慶意象,從「玉兔搗藥」場景到椪餅藏食玩具,讓遊客在觀察動物享用節慶美食的同時,也能認識不同物種的個性與自然行為。
動物園說明,「玉兔搗藥」是運用構樹葉、彩繪浮球及木臼營造中秋意象,讓兔豚在富有節慶氛圍的環境中探索,啃咬構樹皮、取食構樹葉。
黑猩猩及黑熊則迎來特製的「椪餅藏食玩具」,保育員以米篩作為容器,將柚子藏入其中,讓動物透過抓取、啃咬等方式取得食物,提升取食過程的挑戰性。
園區動物也展現各自獨特的「中秋吃法」,絨鼠首次面對筆電造型食盆,一邊享用精料一邊望向螢幕上的烤肉套餐,模樣彷彿在「線上點餐」;豪豬「小芋頭」及「細漢仔」一起享用蔬果烤肉串,卻早早鎖定最愛的玉米筍,展現鮮明的食物偏好。
庫你庫你豬埋頭享用麥片及精料,對眼前美食相當投入;金剛鸚鵡站在樹枝上仔細端詳特製的中秋食盆,依照自己步調觀察、探索這份節慶驚喜。
動物園提醒,中秋連假預期將有大量遊客,園區停車位有限,建議民眾多加利用大眾運輸工具,詳情可至壽山動物園臉書粉絲團。

With the theme of "Welcoming the Mid-Autumn Festival with the Moon," Taipei City's Dihua Wastewater Treatment Plant Leisure and Sports Park has created a themed installation art, which will be lit up from the 25th to the 28th to provide citizens with a close-up moon and lantern viewing experience. The park is equipped with a glowing moon, jade rabbit lighting, and convenient transportation facilities.

During the four-day Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, Taichung High Speed Rail station was flooded with people and vehicles. The Wuri police implemented round-the-clock technological enforcement on the first and second floors of the station area. They issued fines if they stopped for more than three minutes. They also provided alternative pick-up and drop-off points to avoid the traffic flow, including changing appointments to the square in front of the Taiwan Railway's new Wuri station, using the Taichung Transportation Network App to monitor road conditions and making good use of public transportation transfers.

On the first day of the Mid-Autumn Festival and Teacher's Day holidays, Yilan County saw a wave of traffic returning home in the morning. National Highway No. 5 southbound to Shiding was jammed, but the road conditions were smooth after entering the snow tunnel. Traffic on the southbound route of Suhua Road Corridor started to emerge at 3 a.m. and reached 6,986 vehicles as of 8 a.m. It is estimated that there will still be demand for 8,000 vehicles today. Yilan County Suao Police Station activated the diversion mechanism, mobilized police and volunteers to control the area around the Suao Interchange of National Highway No. 5, Suhua Gai and tourist attractions, and called on drivers to abide by traffic rules. The Highway Bureau estimates that the peak traffic volume in the southbound direction will be from 4 a.m. to 12 noon today, and the public is advised to avoid peak hours or take public transportation.

On the first day of the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, there was a 10-kilometer long traffic jam on the southbound section of National Highway 1 in Changhua, with vehicle speeds of only 2-30 kilometers, while the northbound section was smooth and could reach 100 kilometers. The police expected that the congestion would continue in the morning and would ease after noon, and called on passers-by to change to National Highway 3 to avoid traffic jams.

The Chiayi County Culture and Tourism Bureau recommends the Yuantan Natural Ecological Park in Zhuqi Township as the first choice for family travel during the Mid-Autumn Festival and Double Ten holidays. The park has three waterfalls, namely Yuantan, Xiangshan and Xinhu, a botanical garden and rich ecological landscapes. It has barrier-free trails. After walking, you can go to Yuantanxi Restaurant to enjoy local mountain cuisine. It is suitable for the whole family to get close to nature and share delicious food.
