Message from the Director - National Day Experience
September and October are especially full of festivals. In addition to the Teachers' Day and the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are also the National Day, the Taiwan Restoration Day, the Birthday of the late President Chiang Kai-shek, the 9-9-9 Festival of Respect for the Elderly, and the Halloween in the West. Nowadays, only the Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day are holidays, while the others are commemorative holidays. In the past, October was known as the "Glorious October", but now this aura is gone. Taiwan's Kwan Foetus Day and the anniversary of late President Chiang Kung's birthday are not celebrated as holidays, so the significance of the festivals, and even of that day, is not realized.
