The nationwide-first sound-activated Bitan Suspension Bridge light show officially debuted in late July this year to the lively third movement of Vivaldi’s “Summer” from The Four Seasons, stunning all who saw it. As the seasons progress toward December and temperatures gradually drop, to spread the warmth and festive spirit of Christmas in the cold winter, not only did “2013 New Taipei City Christmas Town” officially kick off last weekend, but recently, the Bitan Suspension Bridge has also quietly donned a Christmas outfit, dancing lightly to the notes of “Christmas Carol.” If you're looking to soak in the joyful atmosphere and heartwarming spirit of the upcoming Christmas holiday, in addition to joining the various events of “2013 New Taipei City Christmas Town,” starting December 1st, you can also head to Bitan to enjoy the bridge’s light show Christmas performance, which takes place every hour from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM each evening.

To welcome Christmas, the Bitan Suspension Bridge light show uses the most recognizable basic Christmas colors—red and green—as transitional hues, complemented by a variety of other colors including blue, white, red, yellow, pink, and purple to present scenes such as snowscapes and dazzling ripples, making you feel as if you’re right in a Christmas setting. Through the vivid light show, you can experience the festive and warm atmosphere together.
When visiting Bitan during the Christmas season, don’t miss the nearly four-story-tall, 12-meter-high Christmas tree located at the East Bank Plaza. Starting December 1st, every evening from 6:00 PM to midnight, the towering Christmas tree will also light up its ornaments, with red, orange, blue, and green lights gradually illuminating, showcasing their layers through brightness and adding even more romance and warmth to Bitan.
