Taichung Completes Distribution of 'Physical Vouchers'; City Reminds: Use by 5/3 or Expire

(CNA, Taichung, 28th) The distribution of Taichung Physical Vouchers ended today. The Taichung City Economic Development Bureau stated that while distribution was delayed to April 26-28 due to weather, the vouchers must be used by May 3rd, or they will become invalid. The first wave of the 2026 voucher activity distributed 350,000 units across 107 locations including traditional markets, night markets, and commercial districts. Each voucher, valued at 200 NTD, was exchanged for 100 NTD in cash. The Bureau reported massive crowds at major night markets like Fengjia and Daqing, with vendors reporting significant revenue growth. Local market leaders, such as Cai Guan-dian of Jianguo Market, noted rare high foot traffic even on typically slow Mondays. The Bureau reminds the public that vouchers cannot be refunded or used across different locations after today's distribution ends, and the deadline of May 3rd is strict.
