The Lunar New Year cultural activities in the "Luidui Hakka Cultural Park" under the Taiwan Hakka Culture Development Center of the Hakka Affairs Council will be staged from February 5 to February 9 (the 1st to the fifth day of Lunar January). This year, the topic of the activity is "Food in New Year" which was inspired with Hakka food culture and elements of New Year and we planned eight themes: "What to eat Exploring Maze", "Tobacco Field Concert", "New Year Story Theater - Who Comes to Eat Together Under the Roof", "Share Blessings and Eat Steamed Cake", "Wall of 3D Painting of Reunion Feast", "Watch Traditional Art", "Happiness Vending Machine" and "Charity sale" to hope that all people around Taiwan or abroad would come to Luidui to experience the Hakka customs and to share the New Year blessings.

In the "Exploration" What to eat Exploring Maze, it will display the themes of the New Year festival, the Hakka cuisines and the exhibition of old photos to let visitors know about Hakka by exploring in the large maze. It’s open and free to visit from today, and we will launch the real puzzle-solving game during the New Year Festival. Anyone who can successfully solve the puzzle can get the rich money of the big lion brother commemorative version. "Watching the Play" - "Who Comes to Eat Together Under the Roof" of the New Year Story Theater continues the most popular story drama of the previous two years. This year, the big lion brother invites relatives and friends to come to the house for a feast. The drama will present the food culture of the Hakka Festival with fun and rich sound and light effects. It will be played two times a day during the New Year Festival, and each ticket is 50 NT for two people to enter the theater to watch. The first 200 early comers can also receive the Bagong rich money. "Tasting" - Blessing to share, we invite the Hakka cooks to make steamed cakes with the pure rice on the spot. 168 cakes will be sent out two times a day during the New Year Festival for free as long as the visitors finish the sensory experience game. On the first day, there is a limited edition of golden steamed cake for charity sale with a hundred NT.

It is expected to be the hot spot for the people entering the park to take a photo or clock in during the New Year Festival.

　　Director-General of the Taiwan Hakka Culture Development Center of the Hakka Affairs Council Ho Jinliang said: "The Hakka food culture is quite unique. Especially in the performance of the annual cuisine, it can show the characteristics of Hakkas that they always cherish the food and respect the heavens. This year, we used “New Year Food” as the main course and the three major event themes such as "exploration", "watching the play", "tasting", and "beauty photography" will enable you to experience Hakka cuisine with sensory methods and will bring you a unique Hakka New Year. In addition, the most beloved charity sale will continue this year. In the past two years, I have gathered a lot of people to show their charity love and spread these little achievements to the friends in the society who need help. I will keep inviting people to participate in this charity activity and pass this love forward."

In addition to the popular art scenes, songs and dances, and lively traditional performances of the New Year Festival, we have arranged specially the first one "Tobacco Field Concert" of the whole Taiwan. and in the Field Landscape area in Luidui Park, we collected two large-scale Hakka farming facilities “Tobacco Building and Rice Milling Room”. In Taiwan we could not plant tobacco leave any more after the Far-away from Tobacco policy in 2017, but to reappear the prosperity of Hakka villages to experience the special traditional Hakka farming culture, in the Luidui Hakka Cultural Park farmed a tobacco field next to the tobacco building. In the afternoon, we have arranged some Luidui local musicians, such as Li Shangxuan, who won the third and fourth places in the International Piano Festival by People with Disabilities, Liu Daowen, the original champion of Hakka, and Chen Youzong, the runner-up, and so on. Listening to music and appreciating the tobacco blossom will be definitely the only audiovisual enjoyment in Taiwan.

We have planned four activities with good gifts: the first one is "Happiness Vending Machine" with 100 NT Lucky Draw, which includes Luidui big lion brother cake-shaped towels, 3C products and small items up to 2,000 awards.
