Nangang hall to open with bicycle show

The newly built Taipei World Trade Center (TWTC) Nangang Exhibition Hall will be inaugurated on Thursday with the opening of this year's Taipei International Cycle Show, an official with the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) said on Sunday.

The official said more than 2,700 booths will be set up by around 700 foreign and domestic companies for the exhibition, which will run through Sunday. The number of booths represents an 18 percent increase over the previous year's figure.

Foreign exhibitors from 30 countries, including the US, Italy, Japan, Hong Kong, Germany, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Holland and the UK, and major domestic bike makers, such as Giant, Merida, Ideal and Kenda, will be showcasing their latest products, the official said.

The official said the bicycle show -- the largest in Asia and the third largest in the world -- is expected to attract around 50,000 local and foreign visitors and buyers.

TAITRA, the organizers of the event, will rent 69 shuttle buses to take both visitors and buyers from MRT Kunyang Station and TWTC Exhibition Hall One to the Nangang Exhibition Hall.

Following the inaugural show, there will be international exhibitions showcasing auto parts and accessories, information technology and food next month and in June.

The Ministry of Economic Affairs began to plan for the hall in 2003.
