The event has ended this year.
There’s so many ways to welcome 2015, parties, concerts, events or couch up with TV. But there’s a 4 days holiday, it’s a great chance to plan a productive trip out of town. Sending 2014 away with the first dawn of 2015 seems like a great idea.

With the four days holiday arriving with 2015, besides the usual New Year concerts and fireworks, ending 2014 with the first dawn is a popular alternative plan. Taiwan Central Weather Bureau has announced the schedule on the sunrise moment around Taiwan. The first light will drop on the offshore island Lanyu at 6:32 am. On Taiwan Main Island, Sansiantai in Taitung and Longpan Park in Pingtung comes second at 6:35 am, followed by Fugang and Taimali in Taitung. Sandiaojiao and Pitouchiao in New Taipei City, SuAo in Yilan and Hualien comes in third at 6:37 am.

Sandiaojiao and Pitouchiao in the northern coast is the most popular hot spot for the first dawn. Aside from the usual concert in Taipei City, the celebration concert will hold at the Fulong Beach. Enjoying great performances at the north coast and the first dawn both at once, it sure is a great New Year combo.

The celebration in central Taiwan focuses more on the artistic performances. Sun Moon Lake and Alishan are scheduled with classic music concerts. It’s a very graceful and classy way to celebrate the end of 2014. With classical music and beautiful natural scenery, it’s a whole different way compare to other cities and the past. A few attractions remain open during the holidays like the Tse En Tower and Former Residence of Chiang Kai Shek at Sun Moon Lake.

For admiring natural and historical views, Southern Taiwan would be a great destination for the New Year holidays. With the first dawn arriving at Longpan Park, the natural scenery and water activities in Kenting National Park or the salt field in Tainan. It is a great way to explore historical and natural beauty at once.
On the Eastern side of Taiwan, Taiwan Railway and the East Coast National Scenic Area are promoting Train Trip Packages. The package includes transportation, the celebration concert, first dawn tour and Fuyuan National Forest. The activity includes railroad trip and hot springs throughout the natural scenery of Hualien. It is open now for reservation, book before the tickets are out.

The first dawn in Tamali has been going on for quite some time. From the year 2000, The Millennium Memorial Park has been holding first dawn event attracting foreign and local tourists to participate. Strolling on the beach and the ocean breeze, waiting for the first light t shine from the horizon on the Pacific is a view to die for.
