Hsinchu County declines hosting National Day fireworks due to lack of suitable venues

Hsinchu County has officially declined the opportunity to host this year's National Day fireworks celebration. The county government announced its decision after a comprehensive assessment of potential venues concluded that none met the required standards for such a large-scale event. Officials conducted an intensive two-week review of several locations, including sites in Zhudong, Xinfeng, and Zhubei. The evaluation considered crucial factors such as the event's required space, traffic flow, crowd management, fireworks viewing quality, and the surrounding environment. Despite these efforts, the county government determined that no suitable site was available. In its statement, the Hsinchu County government expressed gratitude to the National Day Preparatory Committee for its trust and acknowledged the collaborative efforts during the site inspections. However, prioritizing public safety and the quality of the event, the county ultimately decided to withdraw its candidacy. The county government conveyed its regret to the committee and expressed hope that a more appropriate venue would be found to ensure the successful execution of this year's National Day fireworks.
