The 2016 Hsinchu City Gratitude Season kicked off lively on December 1st, successively launching four series of events: "Make a Wish: Care & Dream Fulfillment," "Heart's Hope: Christmas Tree Lighting," "Christmas Village: City Light Corridor," and "Embrace Love: Gratitude Gala." Among them, the "Heart's Hope: Christmas Tree Lighting" event opened with performances by children from the Christian Rengu Kindergarten and the Catholic Diocese of Hsinchu's Holy Family Kindergarten, who presented Christmas medleys, musical rhythm dances, and drum performances—perfectly aligning with the theme of "Love @ Gospel."

The Cultural Affairs Bureau stated that the "Make a Wish: Care & Dream Fulfillment" event will run until the 20th, inviting the public to visit the wish walls at Hsinchu Mitsukoshi, Big City, and Shin Kong Mitsukoshi department stores to purchase wish cards and help fulfill the dreams of underprivileged children. The "Christmas Village: City Light Corridor" will transform the 300-meter-long moat into a happiness corridor with warm golden lighting, while the joyful "Riverside Christmas Market" will be held on the 24th and 25th along the moat at Fuhou Street. The "Embrace Love: Gratitude Gala" will take place on Christmas Eve, December 24th, at 6:30 PM at the Municipal Government Square, aiming to celebrate Christmas with the citizens.
