Penghu Summer Festivals
Michella Jade Weng, host:
Hi everyone. Welcome to
Time for Taiwan. My name
is Michella Jade Weng.
Every summer in Penghu,
there is a series of fireworks
performances. It's supposed
to have ended by now,
but due to popular demand,
organizers have decided
to put on an extra show.
Bursting
in the air, into the
shape of magnificent
blooming flowers of
nearly all the colors
of the rainbow, for
some people, this
fireworks show marks
a beautiful end to
a perfect summer evening
in Penghu.
While
some try not to blink
for fear of missing
any part of the show,
others could not stop
snapping photographs
and recording video
of the entire event.
And
when it was time to
return to the hotel,
almost no one wanted
it to end, and just
about all had smiles
on their faces, the
same kind people have
when returning home
after the countdown
at New Year's.

Just firework shows
won't do, so there's
also a music festival!
Every
summer, in addition
to fireworks shows,
music festivals, swimsuit
fashion shows and
sand sculpture competitions,
cultural activities
including traditional
ceremonies involving
old fishing and boating
methods are held,
leaving visitors promising
themselves to return
for more next summer.
