New Taipei City Mayor Hou You-Yi, who attended the opening ceremony of the Bitan Water Dance today, stated that the Bitan Water Dance has been staged for nine consecutive years on the Xindian River, annually bringing innovative and wonderful experiences to share with the public. This year, the internationally renowned Taiwanese brand team "U-Theatre" has been specially invited to collaborate with the water dance for the first time, presenting a performance that blends human and water dance. "U-Theatre" integrates martial arts and dance performances with the powerful and majestic drum sounds of galloping horses, paired with the dynamic and swaying water dance to create a grand and multi-layered water dance show. The strong spirit symbolizes the resilience of New Taipei City and represents a more exciting and dazzling future for the city. This year, New Taipei City has partnered with Taipei City to jointly launch fireworks, illuminating the Greater Taipei night sky together. The first wave of Bitan fireworks will be launched on three consecutive Wednesday evenings at 8:00 PM on 29th May, 5th June, and 12th June, each lasting 300 seconds, paired with the water dance performance to create a spectacular scene of sky and water intertwined.

From May to the end of August, everyone is invited to come to the Greater Taipei area to enjoy romantic and touching moments.
Yang Tsung-Min, Director of the New Taipei City Government Tourism and Travel Department, stated that this year’s Bitan Water Dance season not only features evening water dance performances but also introduces Bitan cultural and historical tours during the daytime. Those interested in local history should not miss these activities. Additionally, there is a Xindian attractions stamp collection activity.
