Taichung City launches three themed gourmet maps

Central News Agency, Taichung, May 27. The Taichung City Industrial Development and Investment Promotion Committee (IDIPC) held a launch event today for its 'Taste of Taichung' gourmet maps, releasing three interactive maps: 'Desserts,' 'Fried Noodles,' and 'Late-Night Snacks.' The committee aims to invite the public to explore local flavors. IDIPC Director-General Chen Hsueh-sheng announced the launch, stating that the committee uses digital tools to integrate business districts, shops, and consumers to boost local tourism and consumption. Chen pointed out that while Taichung has many hidden culinary gems, many small businesses lack marketing resources. To adapt to changing consumption habits, the committee created these maps to help drive foot traffic to physical stores. Each map features over 50 selected shops, including popular local spots and hidden alleyway eateries.
