According to Wu Hui-ping, deputy director of the Taichung City Culture Bureau, "We would also like to organize big, distinctive annual events, just like they've been doing in Taipei and Ilan, but if we go whole hog on big annual activities, we'll spend ourselves broke and not be able to offer people the less conspicuous activities that go on day in and day out throughout the year."
台中市文化局副局長吳惠平就說，「台中也希望像台北或宜蘭辦一些節慶式的活動凸顯特色，可是，民眾日常也有文化活動的需求，這些錢花一花，經費就沒了」，她指出。
