There are also innovative and outstanding National Day installation arts in the Park for you to take photographs.

The only National Day party in Taiwan is at Longgang
During the second civil war, a troupe exiled to Myanmar retreated and lived in this area. With the rich history and unique Burmese culture and located at the intersection of Zhongli, Pingzheng, and Bade, Longgang was known as the “Charming Golden Triangle”. During the annual National Day, the sea of flags is magnificent, emitting a celebratory atmosphere. This attracts many citizens to attend the flag-raising ceremony and is a major event in Longgang. The National Day can be likened to the second Chinese New Year in Longgang. In the morning there is the traditional parade and flag-raising ceremony at the flag house, while the locals host a street fest at night. This forms a series of fun celebratory activities.

National Day installation art symbolizes the cross-racial spirit to celebrate the occasion together.
There are also unique National Day installation arts in the Park. The imagery of the golden triangle is reflected through the mirror and along with the environment fully decorated with flags, a rich and colorful image is created. This symbolizes the acceptance and celebratory spirit of the charming golden triangle.
