Description of Our Community: Taipei City, located in the north top of Taiwan, is a big city with 2,620,000 populations. The city has been set up for 120 years. Both in the past and at the moment, Taipei, the creative city, merging different ethnic groups, new and old concepts and the public need, has been founded and stood towering like a giant for hundred years.
Being a progressive international city, Taipei’s economy is flourishing, and business activities are all inclusive. It’s the first city in Taiwan and attracts a great deal of tourists to come a tour every year. There are more than 80% foreign tourists coming to Taiwan and choosing to go to Taipei necessarily. Therefore, Taipei City has the highest proportion of tourist shopping in Taiwan region.
Although the pineapple pastry is not derived from Taipei, there have been quite a lot of grand bakeries producing the pineapple pastry with their professed techniques for a few decades. Therefore, the pineapple pastry is not only the recollection of Taipei residents but also the best gifts when the tourists come back home.
Project Description: The pineapple pastry is greatly popular for hundred years in Taiwan. It has always been one of the traditional pastries that are widely liked by the people. Taipei is an international sightseeing city, there are more than 700 bakeries selling the pineapple pastry because it is easy to carry, right in size, keeping a long time and reasonable in price. When the tourists go back home or people go abroad, they always choose the pineapple pastries as the gifts for their friends and relatives. To empower the pineapple pastry the new life like the gold brick, the government unites with the bakeries to announce "Pineapple Pastries in Taipei, Healthy New Image". The activity pushes the pineapple pastry to be the “Taipei gifts” and expands it to the nations.
The purposes of this project are to understand how the pineapple pastry becomes the “Taipei gifts”, to introduce the well-known pineapple pastry in Taipei, to spread the products in the nations and to bloom up the tourism in Taipei. Through this project, we expect the pineapple pastry will be famous all over the world.
