Taipei County's Jioufen,
known for its view overlooking the northeastern coast,
recently had new signs in English,
Japanese and Korean installed as part of an effort to make it more friendly to foreign visitors. Michella Jade Weng reports.##

Whether you're shopping for wooden slippers or eating taro treats in Jioufen,
you're likely to hear store owners calling out in different languages,
especially Korean or Japanese,
because more than half the foreign visitors here are from Korea and Japan.
But how about their English?

Let's see how good their English really is.
Let's give them a test. Excuse me, what kind of tea do you have here?

We have Dongding, Gaoshan, Alishan and Dongfangmeiren and Puer tea and Jasmine tea.

And to make Jioufen more tourist-friendly,
the Tourism Bureau's newly installed signs in Japanese,
Korean and English and put in a new public announcement system.

New multilingual maps,
PA system and signs, Jioufen's trying hard to keep its foreign visitors happy.
