Reviews
Very good! Many stores from around the world with various types of handmade products. Organization of the event was smooth, and staff were helpful (eg., there were translator staffs to help foreign sellers communicate).
This is my second participation following the last time in 2023/6. This time I went hungry and tried some street food, but I couldn't understand why the okonomiyaki was just the name cabbage monja and cost 200 yuan. The fried noodles would have been nice without the Taiwanese mayonnaise, but 170 yuan is expensive. Even though I was in line, I should have gone to another store. The Italian gelato was delicious. I went around looking for rabbit goods and was happy to discover a wonderful booth in Hong Kong. There are quite a few shops and you'll find lots of good encounters, so if you can stand the crowds, I highly recommend it.
I went with a friend who loves rabbits, and we took our time looking around over lunch. Although not as many as we did during the previous Dragon Palace theme, we found a variety of rabbit goods and had a great time talking to an artist I'd met before. It was nice that there weren't many people there, probably because of the rain.
In addition to Taiwan, Ishands also invited more than 100 overseas handicraft brands from Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Korea, and Singapore to participate in the exhibition, bringing unique works created with ingenuity. Each piece of work is a unique baby. When the craftsmen enthusiastically share the birth story of the baby, their eyes always light up. There are so many amazing materials and construction methods. The whole thing is very enjoyable to watch and listen to!
Despite the rain, it was quite crowded and it was difficult to look around. There were so many shops, the scale was incomparable to other events of this type in Japan, and the admission fee was so low that it was really fun. A Japanese writer was also there, and I had a good time talking with him, and it seems like he'll be coming next time, so I'd definitely like to participate.
Seeing a lot of amazing hand-made handicrafts, such as wool felt, are all poked lifelike~ It is an eye-opener! The small activities in the exhibition are quite interesting~ especially hanging water polo! ! ! I've wanted to experience it for a long time xD There are some Japanese snacks and drinks sold outside, but unfortunately I was too full that day, so I didn't buy it 😭 In addition, there is a gift bag at the end of the exhibition, which is great!
I love it! I really like it💕🥹This time is really a big liberation after the epidemic. My wallet and spending power are also a big liberation🤭 I am very happy to meet many designers and meet great gods like a fan meeting🫶 This time I also brought friends Go with your boyfriend💕 It feels better to visit this kind of exhibition with a companion😚I just recommend it to everyone
You need to prepare your wallet well before going in. It is so easy to buy. There are many overseas staff this time. They are very considerate and there will be translators on site. There are also exotic food trucks outside the venue. When you are tired of shopping, you can go out to eat and then go back. I am looking forward to it. I will definitely come again at the next exhibition~
The price of the three-person admission ticket is really good. There are many Japanese stalls this time, and I also found many very good Taiwanese handicrafts. I bought a lot with my friends🤣. The entrance and exit flow is a little confusing and a bit too crowded, but the exhibition The range is very good and I look forward to the next event.
Seems like they've been doing this for years! This was my first time attending. It's mostly decorations, earrings, clothes, and other things to browse, with a few creative and cultural items. There aren't many food options; they sell things like candy, rice balls, Italian ice cream, and lattes...
