Taiwan’s first suspension bridge light show that dances and moves in sync with music has captivated audiences with endless imagination and emotion since its launch. To allow more visitors to experience the beauty and rhythm of the bridge’s light display, the New Taipei City Government Tourism and Travel Bureau has adjusted the schedule of the full-hour light shows starting August 3. Shows will now take place every 30 minutes between 7:00 PM and 9:00 PM nightly, with a different theme each day of the week. Themes from Monday to Sunday are respectively: Shining, Ripples, Dreams, Flowing Water, Shuttle, Waves, and Chase. The background music features “Light Spirit” by renowned American pianist Kevin Kern. The gentle and soothing melodies paired with the rhythmic movements of the light show make this approximately 4.5-minute performance feel like a beam of spiritual light, not only bringing warmth and happiness but also fulfilling every visitor’s colorful imagination of a music and light show.
