Each year, the main light show, surrounding light displays, and container markets at New Taipei City’s Happy Christmas Town spark waves of photo-taking and check-ins. This year, the event has been upgraded to an even more spectacular level, with the brand-new shining light zone in front of Banqiao Station making its debut. As soon as the event opened, it successfully created a buzz. A white canopy descending from the sky, paired with a dazzling Christmas tree that incorporates a spinning reindeer ride, 8 containers adorned with elaborate lighting, plus 12 colorful computer-projected lights that flicker and dance along with themed music to create a spectacular “Christmas Light Dance.” There’s also a cute Santa Bear-themed stage. Surrounded by the sparkling lights in the square, not only did visitors find it incredibly impressive, but every spot was also super photogenic. The editor has specially compiled a must-do checklist for check-ins at the station-front square—come once and capture them all!
