Japan\'s Ehime Prefecture\'s largest "Matsuyama Industry Festival" kicked off on November 18-19. Taipei commercial districts organized their first-ever delegation, attracting many Japanese visitors to the Taipei booths. The Ehime Governor and Matsuyama Mayor specially visited the Taipei booth after the opening to taste beef noodles, braised pork rice, tea oil vermicelli and other authentic Taipei foods, promoting Taipei\'s gourmet reputation and unforgettable food culture to Japanese visitors.

Taipei\'s annual commercial district event "Taipei Living Festival - Christmas Celebration" will be grandly held on November 24-26 on Qixing Street next to Xinbeitou MRT Station.
