A record number of artistically designed balloons will turn up
in this year's Taiwan International Balloon Festival in Luye,
Taitung County in southeastern Taiwan from June 30th until August
6th.
Over 3 million people have attended the annual summer festival
over the past seven years, making it the most popular hot air
balloon festival in Taiwan.
According to Taitung County Government, 30 teams from 11
countries have been invited to show off their special shape
balloons that for sure will surprise visitors this year.
The first group will feature a Vader balloon and a Yoda-shaped
balloon from Belgium, a soldier-pattern balloon from the United
Kingdom, pink pig and parrot-shaped ones from the United States,
and a sea horse balloon and Woody bird-like balloon from Brazil,
which will grace the skies with their beauty at Luye Gaotai this
year.
This will be followed by two more groups of foreign-designed
balloons that include Brazil's “hugging” balloon, dog-shaped and
blue-chicken balloons, and a heart-shaped balloon from Japan which
will fly up along with its Taiwanese counterpart. A Dutch rooster
balloon will also take to the skies in celebration of the Year of
the Rooster, which is this year.
Seven night glow concerts have been organized at different
locations, kicking off at Taitung County Gymnasium on June 30th.
The concert will be held at famous scenic spots on the south-link
coast, including Zhiben Hot Springs, East Rift Valley and the
south-link highway.
