Taiwan celebrates Father’s Day as an observed holiday on August 8.
People often take their fathers out for dinner, give gifts, or at least call them to give them a greeting.
The reason fathers day is celebrated on August 8 is that the two number eights 八八 (bā bā) phonetically sound like papa 爸爸 (bà bà) in Chinese.
🗓️ Father’s Day is an observed holiday, all schools and businesses should still be running as usual.
