Breeze Nanshan, the Breeze Group’s third department store in Taipei’s Xinyi District, celebrated its grand opening on Jan. 10, drawing 150,000 shoppers within a day. Located in the Taipei Nan Shan Plaza office tower, the new department store with 16,200 ping (approx. 53,500m2) of floor space is now the largest in Taipei — including seven floors above ground, two basement levels, as well as dining areas between the 46th and 48th floors.
On the invitation of the Breeze Group, Japanese shopping center operator Atre Co. has opened its first overseas mall on the second to fourth floors, with Japanese brands accounting for 60 percent of the goods. In addition, it is housing Blue Bottle Coffee’s first season-themed gift shop in Taiwan.
Breeze Nanshan is also housing nearly 100 restaurants in order to attract customers. Some of the highly-anticipated restaurants include famous US steakhouse Smith and Wollensky’s first Taiwanese branch. However, popular US restaurant The Cheesecake Factory did not open its first Taiwanese outlet there as planned.

微風南山於上週四盛大開幕，這是微風集團在台北市信義區的第三家百貨公司，一天之內便吸引了十五萬人潮。該處位於「台北南山廣場」辦公大樓內，佔地面積一萬六千兩百坪，是台北市現今最大的百貨公司—包括地上七層、地下兩層，及四十六到四十八樓之間的餐廳區。
而在微風集團力邀下，日本購物中心業者Atre首次到海外展店，在二到四樓開設商場，其中百分之六十的商品都是日系品牌。此外，亦設有台灣首家藍瓶咖啡季節限定禮品店。
同時，微風南山還設有近百家餐廳吸引顧客上門。其中備受矚目的包括知名美國牛排館、史密斯華倫斯基台灣首家分店。不過高人氣的美式餐廳起司蛋糕工廠，則未如計劃來台展店。

Many consumers are guilty of filling drawers or closets with old laptops, cellphones, fitness trackers and other electronic devices once they are no longer needed. It’s hard to know where to recycle such items, or it seems costly and inconvenient to do so. The world generates millions of tons of electronic waste — also called e-waste — each year. According to the UN’s most recent estimate, people worldwide produced 62 million metric tons of e-waste in 2022, and only about 22 percent of it was properly recycled. The US’ Environmental Protection Agency estimates that less than a quarter of e-waste is
You’re sitting in class when a classmate asks to borrow a pencil. It seems like a small favor, so you agree without hesitation. The following week, the same classmate asks to share your notes. Later, they request help with a group project. You agree each time — after all, you helped out the first time — but before you know it, it has become automatic. This scenario demonstrates the “foot-in-the-door technique,” a psychological concept that shows how agreeing to small, acceptable demands makes it easier to accept larger ones later on. The name for this strategy comes from door-to-door
A: The four-day Tomb Sweeping Day long weekend begins Friday and will run until Monday. Are you going to sweep your ancestors’ tombs? B: I did in advance last weekend, so I can go to Kaohsiung to see the musical “The Phantom of the Opera.” A: Wow, is “Phantom” touring Taiwan again? It debuted in 1986, so this year marks the 40th anniversary of the show. B: And it’s not just touring Kaohsiung starting March 31, but also Taipei starting April 21 and Taichung starting May 26. A: “Phantom” is one of the world’s Four Major Musicals. I’ve seen all of them, except “Les
Continued from yesterday（延續自昨日） https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang Gig Tripping “Gig tripping” combines concerts with travel. People fly to see their favorite artists perform — usually abroad—and spend a few days sightseeing before or after the show. While die-hard fans have done this since the 1960s, the post-pandemic travel boom changed the game. Even people who aren’t superfans are now booking international concert trips because they want to make the most of travel opportunities. This trend exploded in the US, as the math makes sense. Domestic concert tickets are so costly that flying abroad for the show plus tourism expenses often matches or even beats the price
