MRT Sanying Line Trial Operation Until End of August, Sanxia and Yingge Sports Centers Add 4 Major Discounts

New Taipei City is encouraging residents to embrace a healthy lifestyle and explore local attractions through a new promotional campaign linked to the Sanying Line MRT. The MRT line is currently offering free rides to the public until August 31st, coinciding with a series of discounts at the Sanxia and Yingge National Sports Centers.

The "Ride Sanying, Enjoy 31" campaign, now in its second wave, offers significant savings on various fitness activities. Participants can enjoy a "buy two, get one free" deal on specific single-session classes like aerobics and yoga. For gym enthusiasts, a "three people group, one person free" offer is available for gym access. Additionally, those looking to play sports can benefit from renting badminton, table tennis, or pickleball courts, receiving one hour of court time free when renting for two hours.

The initiative extends beyond sports facilities, with discounts on athletic footwear also available. Customers purchasing specific Japanese functional shoes can enter a lottery for discounts, and an 80% discount is offered on shoes when registering for designated courses. These promotions aim to make sports and recreation more accessible and appealing to the community.

City officials view the Sanying Line MRT not just as a transportation project but as a vital link connecting the sports and leisure resources of the Sanxia and Yingge districts. By making it easier for residents to travel to the sports centers, the city hopes to integrate exercise seamlessly into daily life and encourage exploration of nearby cultural sites like the Sanxia Old Street, Yingge Old Street, and the New Taipei City Museum of Art. This integrated approach promotes a "healthy small trip" combining sports, leisure, and tourism.
