... that text on some Taiwanese train tickets are interpreted to be auspicious? Source: [1]
- ALT1:... that some Taiwanese train tickets are collected because the station name combination is auspicious? Source: same as above

Article is long enough and new enough and adequately sourced. Hook is sourced. Picture in the article has appropriate license. No copyvios found using Earwig's tool. I assume the nominator is exempt from QPQ. I think the ALT1 hook is preferable as it seems more meaningful, but I would suggest rewording it to ALT2 ... that people collect some Taiwanese train tickets because the station name combination is auspicious? That is because the "tickets are collected" could be read to apply to train conductors collecting the tickets, which would not be particularly interesting. But I'll leave that up to the promoter.
