The rock band Mayday served as global ambassadors, filming five “Incredible Kaohsiung” promotional short videos, with each member starring in their own segment. They visited major attractions such as Love River and Meinong to capture the incredible beauty of Kaohsiung. The Kaohsiung City Government has also set up an “Incredible Kaohsiung” fan page on Facebook, where the public can vote for their favorite video and participate in a lucky draw. The campaign runs from now until January 31, 2012, with a chance to win limited-edition Mayday-branded souvenirs for Kaohsiung, including umbrellas, calendars, and posters.

In the five short films, lead singer Ashin takes on a laid-back style, experiencing the slow life of the city in Kaohsiung; band leader Monster transforms into a conductor, creating an incredible melody by harmonizing with the various paces of life in Kaohsiung; bassist Masa cruises along Love River in a romantic getaway, enjoying the good life in Kaohsiung; guitarist Stone pedals across the north-south cycling routes of Greater Kaohsiung, conveying the healthy and vibrant spirit of the city; and drummer Guanyu visits the Hakka village of Meinong to experience the warmth and charm of handmade crafts.
