Tourism Center / Comprehensive Report

The "authentic" Finnish Santa Claus "Finnish Santa" will visit Taipei Fuhang Hotel from December 20 to 24 during the colorful Christmas market. Santa will also appear in the outdoor square to distribute gifts. Guests in the hotel can happily take photos with Santa, and the photo event will be combined with donation and book-donating activities. On Christmas Eve, the main highlight awaits: anyone who books the Christmas Warmth Stay Package and stays on December 24 will have Santa personally deliver a surprise gift to their room.

Aside from the hotel events, the Finnish Santa Claus has a packed daily schedule of charitable activities during his time in Taiwan. He plans to visit the private St. Anne’s Home run by the Catholic Father Bai Yong’en Social Welfare Foundation, and the private Taiwanese Catholic Nursing Home in New Taipei City, to care for children with disabilities and elderly individuals without support. He will also participate in charity events such as the Rare Disease Foundation supported by co-organizer Fubon Charity Foundation, and the Taishin Circle Music Festival hosted by co-organizer Taishin Financial Holdings, interacting with the people of Taiwan.
