The "Mountain, Water, and Heart Lamp" at the Taiwan Pavilion of the World Expo is gearing up to shine as a dazzling jewel.

The exhibition design of the Taiwan Pavilion combines art and technology at their finest, creating numerous one-of-a-kind experiences. Upon entering the pavilion, visitors on the first floor "Window on Taiwan" can immediately feel the warmth and vitality of the Taiwanese people. This includes messages from ambassadors such as Lin Chi-ling, Tao Ching-ying, CEO Chang Yi and Artistic Director Yang Hui-shan of Liuli Gongfang, corporate figures, and ordinary Taiwanese citizens, all sharing their visions of a beautiful Taiwan through video messages and warmly welcoming guests. Visitors then take an elevator to the fourth floor to enter the "Full-Dome Theater." In this immersive space, the visuals have no boundaries — up, down, left, and right are entirely surrounded by images, making guests feel as though they are immersed in a movie scene.

Upon entering the "Lantern-Lighting Water Platform" on the second floor, visitors can personally experience a traditional yet high-tech lantern-lighting blessing ceremony. The large lantern base features a double circular water pool, with the central pool filled with water from Sun Moon Lake. At the center of the pool stands rose stone unique to Taiwan’s Yushan Mountain. The Lantern-Lighting Water Platform is surrounded by waters symbolizing the Pacific Ocean. As visitors stand beneath the lantern to light it, they can feel Taiwan's unique maritime setting. Finally, visitors proceed to the first-floor "City Square" to experience the authentic local customs under the shade of Taiwan’s grand trees. Aside from elegant tea performances, goodwill ambassadors also serve tea to visitors in a gesture of Taiwanese hospitality. Guests may also take home a specially designed tea-serving cup as a memento of their visit to the Taiwan Pavilion.

The official theme song of the Taiwan Pavilion at the World Expo, “Heartbeat of Taiwan,” features lyrics by Golden Melody Award-winning lyricist Vincent Fang, capturing the most representative essence of Taiwan’s charm. It is performed by Asian pop icon Jolin Tsai in her tender and emotive voice. In the music video, Tsai also gracefully performs a symbolic lantern lighting for the public. With its beautiful and touching lyrics and melody, along with visuals of Taiwan’s rich cultural scenery, the song showcases the nation’s blend of tradition and modernity. The venue also features compositions arranged by renowned composer and current conductor of the Taipei Municipal Chinese Classical Orchestra, Chung Yao-kuang, as well as Taiwan indigenous folk songs. Visitors will be truly moved by the awe-inspiring power of the indigenous vocalists' performances.
