翻譯 Translation
Qingqing: Huahua, did you know that there are many interesting tourist factories in Taiwan?
Huahua: I often see people sharing photos of their visits to tourist factories on social media, and some of them are indeed very beautiful.
Qingqing: They’re not just beautiful; as the name suggests, tourist factories are places where you can both sightsee and see how things are made.
Huahua: I visited one that makes pencils last time and learned how pencils are made. They even had many historical photos and old items inside, which was very interesting.
Qingqing: Did you sign up for any hands-on workshops?
Huahua: Yes, we created designs on the pencils to make them uniquely ours.
Qingqing: That’s what makes tourist factories appealing—they’re fun for both adults and kids.
Huahua: In that case, let’s pick one to visit together another day.
