As the Kaohsiung Lantern Festival approaches the climax of the Lantern Festival, a series of surrounding events have also been launched. The Love River Railway Bridge, usually a place for the public to stroll or cycle, has been transformed by the latest "tunnel light art" into Taiwan's first-ever "Dios Mio Amazing Light & Sound Theater," becoming the most eye-catching highlight of this year’s Kaohsiung Lantern Festival Art Festival. It ensures the festival offers more than just dazzling fireworks in the sky — strolling through the starlight tunnel with brilliant lights twinkling all around is especially captivating at night.

"Dios Mio" means "Wow!" or "Amazing!" in Spanish. The design employs dazzling "tunnel light art," transforming the railway bridge — normally used by pedestrians and cyclists — into a sea of lights tunnel using LED lights, presenting a dreamy purple-hued light spectacle. Enhanced by light tube technology that creates various colorful light scenes synced with music rhythms, it also features animations of ocean creatures loved by children swimming through the light-filled tunnel, attracting visitors to stop and admire.
From now until February 23, there will be a light & sound show at 19:00, 20:00, and 22:00 each evening on the railway bridge. On February 24, Lantern Festival Day, there will also be shows at 20:00 and 22:00. The shows feature the rock rhythm of the European band Europe’s hit song "The Final Countdown," paired with large laser spotlights sweeping the harbor from different angles, creating refracted light effects with the surrounding glass curtain wall buildings — delivering a feast for both the eyes and ears. The animated show inside the bridge will run on a loop from 18:00 to 22:00 every evening from now until February 24, featuring an animated New Year celebration in an underwater world.
