During the Dragon Boat Festival, households traditionally eat zongzi, but with rising prices, a netizen shared that a friend from Hsinchu bought two meat zongzi, each priced close to NT$100, surprising them. The friend revealed that in Hsinchu, one zongzi costs NT$90, totaling NT$180 for two, prompting reactions like 'Is a zongzi in Hsinchu really NT$90?' Others noted that costs in Hsinchu are high, perhaps due to engineers being generous with food, and mentioned that zongzi from famous establishments can cost over NT$100 or even NT$200. Many online users expressed shock at the expensive zongzi prices and the overall high cost of living.
