Taishin Financial Holding has been decorating for Christmas for the past two years, aiming to bring a sense of fun and festivity to the iconic Ren’ai Roundabout in Taipei City during the cold winter months, which has received an overwhelmingly positive response. Not only do passersby and local residents find the displays delightful, but they also help spread joy throughout Taipei. This year, Taishin has specially collaborated with Jimmy Liao’s work ‘Don’t Forget to Hug Me Once,’ creating oversized painted installations featuring characters from the picture book such as the dog, the pony, the owl, the bear, the snowman, and the little tree’s journey—hoping these adorable characters will accompany everyone through a joyful Christmas season.
