Taiwan’s first light show on the Bitan Suspension Bridge that dances and moves in sync with music has brought endless imagination and emotion to every viewer since its debut. To allow more visitors to experience the beauty and rhythm of the bridge’s light display, the New Taipei City Government Tourism and Travel Bureau has adjusted the full-hour light show schedule starting August 3. The show will now take place every 30 minutes from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM each evening, with a different theme for each day of the week. The weekly themes are, in order: Shining, Ripples, Dreams, Flowing Water, Shuttle, Waves, and Chase. The background music is “Light Spirit” by renowned American pianist Kevin Kern. The gentle and soothing melodies paired with the dynamic light display create a roughly 4.5-minute light show that feels like a beam of spiritual light—bringing warmth and happiness while fulfilling every visitor’s splendid imagination of a music and light show.
