(Central News Agency reporter Luo Wei-chia, Jakarta, 1st) The Ministry of Transportation and Communications Tourism Administration is holding the Taiwan Tourism Expo from today until the 3rd at PIK Avenue shopping mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, hoping to attract more Indonesians to visit Taiwan by showcasing various Taiwanese cultures. Among the many booths, cultural DIY experience activities that combine local industry characteristics and hands-on education have become a highlight.
The Tourism Administration stated that the expo focuses on "TAIWAN–Waves of Wonder" and combines the concept of "Taiwan 24 Hours Non-Stop" to create a colorful and dazzling neon light photo area on site, and provides visitors with commemorative photos with limited edition designs for the expo, demonstrating Taiwan's diverse tourism charm that can be experienced all day long.
The Tourism Administration also specially invited Taiwan's first professional contemporary circus troupe, "FOCASA Circus," to perform across the sea. The troupe integrates oriental acrobatics with modern theater aesthetics, and this time, its "Taiwan Stir-fry Restaurant" dance number echoes the expo theme, bringing a wonderful performance that combines visual and dynamic elements through trampolines, acrobatics, and juggling, attracting many Indonesian people to watch.
In addition, Singyuan Tea Garden brought the local tea fragrance of Yilan Dongshan, with Liu Jingyuan, the garden owner who returned to farming and transformed into friendly agriculture, guiding the public to make DIY commemorative tea bags.

She said that Taiwan's natural beauty and friendliness to tourists have always made her want to visit, and the travel information and experience activities provided on site made her more willing to plan a trip to Taiwan.

Doly, a participant in the experience, said that it was a very interesting experience to make wooden piggy banks with experiencers of various ages and understand their origins.
He told the Central News Agency that he is very interested in Taiwan's local culture and cuisine, and coupled with the need to visit relatives, he has long listed Taiwan as his top travel choice, and the experience on site made him even more eager to fly to Taiwan for travel.
Lin Hsin-jen, Minister of the Taiwan Representative Office in Indonesia, said in his opening remarks that Taiwan-Indonesia tourism exchange set a new record last year, with the number of mutual visits fully recovering to pre-pandemic levels. He pointed out that more than 300,000 Indonesian friends currently live in Taiwan, with deep cultural connections; Taiwan continues to optimize its environment and expand Halal certification, sincerely inviting Indonesian people to visit Taiwan.
