Since last month’s opening of the “2018 Christmasland in New Taipei City,” the event has been attracting crowds with the world’s only 3D-projected Christmas tree and light sculpture shows at the New Taipei City Plaza, and the decoration of more than 100,000 LED lights that has transformed Banciao Station’s front plaza into a dazzling galaxy.
The event includes two free concerts hosted by entertainer Mickey Huang between 6pm and 10pm on Saturday and Sunday. The first concert will feature hit singers such as Bii, Butterfly and G.E.M., and the second performers like Jess Lee and EggPlantEgg, with Jolin Tsai as the grand finale.
Meanwhile, for EDM (electronic dance music) fans, “We Are Connected (WAC) Taipei 2018” will take place at the Dajia Riverside Park in Taipei’s Zhongshan District on Sunday. The show will star Dutch DJ Armin van Buuren, a five-time global No. 1 DJ, Swedish DJ and record producer Alesso, Israeli DJ duo Vini Vici and other performers.
