The “Farewell 100, Welcome 101” North Coast Fulong Cape New Year’s Eve Carnival will be held from December 31, 100 (Republic of China) to January 1, 101 (Republic of China). In addition to enjoying the cozy hot spring baths at local温泉 resorts, visitors can also register for a free shuttle bus to Fulong Cape Lighthouse to join the carnival activities from designated locations. Buses will depart at 15:00 on December 31 and 04:30 on January 1. Nearby Tienlai Hot Spring Resort is also recruiting Christmas “naked” Santa Clauses—just wear red swim trunks or a swimsuit between December 23 and January 1 to enjoy an ice-themed hot spring bath for just 101 NTD.

Besides watching the last sunset of the year 100 or the first sunrise of 101 at the carnival site, there will also be spectacular nighttime kite shows and African drum performances. Additionally, 101 limited-edition coupons for ice-themed hot springs sponsored by Tienlai Hot Spring Resort and blessed onsen tamagoyaki (Japanese rolled omelet) will be given out.
