The “Christmasland in New Taipei City” event, now celebrating its 14th year, has established itself as a mesmerizing Christmas extravaganza in the enchanting Xinban Special Zone of New Taipei City, Taiwan. Each year, this remarkable festival not only captivates audiences but also embraces the spirit of innovation through collaborations with premier projection mapping teams, and celebrated artists.

Its dynamic lighting design, with a vibrant palette that dances and shifts, creates an awe-inspiring atmosphere that delights the senses.



Moreover, the New Taipei City Government has meticulously crafted a diverse array of engaging activities beyond the ethereal light displays. These initiatives not only aim to entertain but also serve to invigorate the local economy by drawing visitors to nearby hotels and shops within the bustling shopping district. In essence, “Christmasland in New Taipei City” is set to be an unforgettable celebration that weaves together creativity and connection, inviting all to immerse themselves in the magic and joy of the holiday season.
