Ximen District in Taipei has always been a favorite tourist shopping area for foreign travelers. Last year, it attracted many South Korean tourists and was dubbed "Taiwan's Myeongdong." Before popular stores opened, there were often crowds, and tourists actively rushed to wholesale stores for purchases. However, a recent incident involving a South Korean student being attacked with a knife has shocked South Korean travelers. Mayor Chiang Wan-an immediately instructed the police to strengthen patrols to ensure the safety of Ximen District.
- South Korean tourists are taking photos in Ximen District, expressing their enthusiasm for sightseeing, even in rainy weather.
- The rainbow landmark at the exit six of Ximen MRT station has become a popular photo spot, attracting numerous tourists.
- There are crowds in popular stores and pharmacies, and the spending power of South Korean tourists cannot be underestimated.
- According to statistics from the Tourism Bureau, the number of South Korean visitors to Taiwan has exceeded one million, ranking third.
The Ximen District shopping area is filled with young pop culture and local specialty foods, making it attractive to foreign tourists. The recent knife attack involving international students has frightened visitors, and Mayor Chiang Wan-an has developed a strategy to enhance inspections. The Wanhua police precinct will arrange for more than two groups of officers to patrol during holidays, and at night, police officers will crack down on illegal vendors to ensure the safety of the shopping area, ready to provide immediate support in case of emergencies.
Additionally, from midnight to 6 AM, the police will strengthen patrols in areas prone to disturbances, such as the intersection of Hanzhong Street and the Lion’s Head Building, which are security hotspots. This will create a safety network to ensure stable security at international tourist attractions and prevent travelers from feeling fearful.
