For instance, in 1935, during the era of Japanese rule in Taiwan, the colonial rulers held a Taiwan Expo to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Japanese rule. During its 50-day run, the exhibition attracted a total of 2.75 million visitors. The majority were Taiwanese, followed by Japanese, and then smaller numbers of Koreans, Manchurians and other groups. The total number of visitors equaled one-third of the island's population.
例如在 1935 年日治期間，日本人就曾經以「始政 40 周年紀念」為名舉辦「台灣博覽會」，在為期 50 天的展覽期間，總計吸引了 275 萬人次參觀，其中絕大多數為本島人（台灣人）、內地人（日本人），以及少數來自朝鮮、滿洲等地的觀眾，參觀人數約為當時全島人數的 1/3。
