This year, they are offering 12 limited edition special lunchboxes featuring local ingredients.

Train lunchboxes are a beloved tradition in Taiwan. Due to their popularity, the Taiwan Railways Administration has held an annual lunchbox festival every year since 2015. This year marks the fifth iteration, and there are 12 special lunchboxes that customers can choose from.
