Pokemon Hotspot Trash Surge: Beitou Park Cleans Up 100kg of Garbage

[on.cc Report] Recently, Taipei\'s Beitou Park has become a popular Pokemon Go hotspot, drawing many trainers. Nearby businesses welcome visitors to the Xinbeitou commercial district, but the traffic congestion and trash have caused some inconvenience to local residents.

To maintain the Beitou Hot Spring area and park surroundings, the Taipei Hot Spring Development Association organized a cleanup this morning with village chiefs Chen Chang-Sheng and Chen Li-Chang, well-known hotel operators, and city parks department staff. The cleanup covered Beitou Park, both sides of Beitou Creek, Guangming and Zhongshan Roads near landmarks, collecting over 100 kilograms of trash - mostly plastic bottles, utensils, and tissue paper. Though everyone was drenched in sweat, they restored beautiful surroundings to Beitou Park.

To ensure visitors always enjoy a clean environment, the Association arranged for 5 additional trash bins and urges Pokemon trainers to remind their friends to "keep trash off the ground" - aim your trash into bins as accurately as catching Pokemon, creating a better recreation environment while staying safe.
