Through a heartwarming lighting ceremony, the event will feature performances of white Christmas carols, poetry readings, and blessings to celebrate a warm and caring holiday season.

Chen Chun-an, Director of the Tainan City Government Tourism Bureau, stated that Tainan is continuously evolving into a happy city where people can “dream, work, fall in love, get married, and live leisurely,” as described by the writer Yeh Shih-tao. Therefore, unlike previous years, this year’s Christmas lights at the Mayor’s Residence specially use LED lights to decorate the exterior walls of the building, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere—perfect for dreaming and enjoying happiness. Starting from December 13, the lights will remain on display until January 5, 2014, and will be open for public viewing and photos from 17:30 to 21:30 each evening.
