Adding to the experience, the weekends of New Taipei Week will feature unique "food-saving" DIY workshops. These hands-on activities, such as making "Baozhong tea rice cakes" and "braised small abalone," not only offer a fun way to engage with local culinary traditions but also promote the concept of reducing food waste. Participants can also enjoy tastings of New Taipei's specialty teas.
