This time, Keelung has created a Christmas tree with special meaning.Organized jointly by the Keelung City Government and local churches, not only is a Jesus-themed Christmas town set up at Ocean Plaza, but the event also responds to environmental concerns by crafting a creative and energy-saving Christmas tree from over 7,000 PET bottles. This allows the public to engage in eco-friendly practices while learning about the origins and significance of Christmas.

NetizenWu Wei-yi Aikesshared this year’s eco-friendly Christmas town in Keelung on the“Travel is Awesome!”Facebook group, giving everyone a look at a different kind of Christmas event. As everyone knows, Christmas is the day of Jesus’ birth, so this time the Keelung City Government specially collaborated with many local churches to create a large light display depicting the story of Jesus’ birth, allowing both adults and children to rediscover the meaning of Christmas beyond just taking photos.

This year, a colorful light tunnel has been specially set up, with cool lighting adding to the festive atmosphere. Hanging nearby are recycled CD discs, where the public can write their wishes or blessings, creating memorable and unique wish cards. In addition, the biggest highlight in responding to environmental concerns is undoubtedly the “PET bottle Christmas tree,” which stands tall in the square. Made from over 7,000 PET bottles and reaching a height of 20 meters, it requires no additional decoration, and the eco-friendly statement shines even brighter when lit up.
