The two-day event “Slide, Hot Air Balloon, Summer Vacation at Qingqing Grassland” had limited hot air balloon ride slots due to safety considerations. Many people chose to queue up on the mountain early in the morning to grab a number, while some even took an overnight bus from Taipei, then switched to a YouBike from National Tsing Hua University and rode straight to Qingqing Grassland. Onlookers praised them for their “amazing stamina.”

Although strong winds prevented the balloons from fully inflating and they could only “stand upright,” the scene still drew cheers from the crowd. Ms. Yang from Taoyuan said that although she didn’t get to ride a balloon to enjoy the mountain and sea views of Xiangshan, seeing the balloons stand upright and sliding down the longest terrazzo slide in northern Taiwan brought back childhood memories—it was “absolutely thrilling!”

New Taipei City’s “Slide, Hot Air Balloon, Summer Vacation at Qingqing Grassland” event concluded joyfully under the sunset of Xiangshan, attracting over 70,000 visitors in just two days. Despite daytime temperatures exceeding 30°C, people of all ages still lined up to experience the thrill of “leaving Earth’s surface.” Qingqing Grassland has become a new highlight for Xiangshan tourism. With many recent tourism highlights in New Taipei City, it has drawn many visitors.
