The eighth annual Taiwan International Hot Air Balloon Festival
is scheduled to begin on June 30 at Luye Highland, and will run
through until August 13. This year’s 45-day festival aims to break
a new record with the highest number of balloons ever showing up
together this year.
In addition, eight night glow concerts will add to the
festivities at the traditional venues of the past, including
Sanxiantai, Chishang’s Dapo Lake, Taimali Aurora Park, and Zhiben
Hot Spring Area. A night glow concert will take place for the first
time at the Library and Information Center located on the main
campus of National Taitung University, which was voted for as one
of the top eight of the most beautiful libraries in the world.
Adding to the excitement of the Zhihang Air Force Base night
glow concert held in 2013, the cooperation continues this year with
it being held there again. People will be able to witness the
commissioned fighters of the military posing with the gorgeous hot
air balloons, which will be present at the event.
This year we especially invited dozens of popular hot air
balloons from all over the world, with themes ranging from The
Minions, Up, Royal Elephant, Orient Express, and The Three Little
Bees. Traditional balloons will also take to the skies during this
year’s activities, such as Noah’s Ark, Tony the Tiger and British
Soldier.
In addition, to celebrate the Year of the Dog, an English
bulldog special shape balloon has been invited to take to the skies
during the 2018 Taiwan International Hot Air Balloon Festival,
which was selected by Travel Channel as one of the Top 12 hot air
balloon events in the world. Be sure not to miss the Taiwan Tourism
Bureau’s mascot OhBear and PX-Mart’s One Two Bear.
The Taiwan International Hot Air Balloon Festival gives people
with an eagerness for flying a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to
experience flying in a hot air balloon. Every year, it is difficult
to obtain tethered balloon ride tickets as they are highly coveted.
Taitung County Government warmly reminds everyone that tethered
balloon ride activities are divided into two periods, namely in the
morning, and in the afternoon.
