Q8: Why is the Beitou event themed around witches? What is the connection between witches and Beitou?
A8: Beitou was originally home to the Ketagalan people, a Pingpu indigenous tribe. The name "Beitou" is translated from the Pingpu language word "Pataauw," meaning "witchcraft." Witches used divination, prayers, and other rituals to determine fortune and pray for peace. Nature blessed Beitou with beautiful scenery and terrain, and the "Legend of the Beitou Witch" has given the community endless imagination and blessings. This event specially derives creative inspiration from the "place name" origin, fusing it with fantasy magical elements, hoping that visitors can fully experience the delicious food, fun, shopping, and uniqueness of summer in Beitou through thoughtful planning. All citizens nationwide are invited to come discover the history and culture of Beitou and uncover more of the commercial district's charm.
※ Special Note:
1. This event is purely a creative concept inspired by Beitou's fictional world and has no connection to Ketagalan historical or cultural background.
2. Interested visitors are welcome to visit the first floor lobby of the Ketagalan Culture Center to view the historical origins and cultural interpretations of Beitou's witch legends.
