    The Nantou Incredible New Year’s Countdown Party was held on December 31 at Nantou Stadium. The 10 thousand tickets to the party were all given away. “A-xi, the otaku’s goddess” and “Ji Yen-kai, the macho god JR” performed on stage to entertain all. When the lucky hour approached, Magistrate Lin Ming-chen and the party-goers sang the National Anthem and waved the national flag enthusiastically. They then clapped with loud applause. All the attendants were deeply touched. At the same time, a few more snow-making machines were used in a larger scale in the New Year’s Countdown Party at Cinjing, Jenai Township, creating a vivid and lively atmosphere for this year end party. The parties held in these two places lit up the county as if it were daytime.

    Different from the New Year’s Countdown Party in other counties and cities, Nantou sponsored a national flag party as an appeal to attract more people. In addition, it also used the internet and Line to post the information of the party, attracting about 10 thousand net users to join the party. Nantou New Year’s countdown party stirred up the festive mood before the holding of the party. As the party began, local groups—Selleck Culture and Arts Troupe and Caotun Ginna and Forest Band were the first two groups to perform in the party, activating the party mood and delighting the people.

    At 7:30pm, as soon as “A-xi, the otaku’s goddess” and “Ji Yen-kai, the macho god JR” appeared on stage, screams and cheers rose among the partyers. All the people were happy. Champion Band, the junior of May Day, rocked the people and stimulated their passions. The Sweet Voice Singer Lara Liang, Gina Lee, film actress, singer, and TV star from Nantou, Olivia Tsao, the Super Star of FTV, Li You-ting Band, the dual champion in the third folk song and fingerstyle categories in National Normal University Singing Contest, and more performed on stage in turn. The people were over rejoiced.

    As more and more people flocked to the countdown party, at 10:00pm, Magistrate Lin Ming-chen announced that the 10 thousand raffles were all given away to the people. But still many attendants could not get any raffle tickets. He welcomed the people to attend the New Year’s Countdown Party next year. The county government team will make it better and endeavor to make Nantou folks live happier.

    During the New Year’s Countdown Party, Nantou Stadium and Cinjing were packed with people. Magistrate Lin and Deputy Magistrate Chen then counted down the clock together with all the people. Magistrate Lin and the people in the party sang the National Anthem and waved the national flag together to welcome 2016.
