New Taipei City ushered in the holidays with the Magical Christmasland Opening Event on 15th November.

City mayor Hou Yu-Ih, together with key officials and guests, led the ceremonial lighting of the attraction, infusing the festivities with a touch of magic. 

This year’s Christmasland introduces a spectacular transformation: the Christmas tree takes the form of a graceful magical angel, casting radiant light throughout the venue. 

Surrounded by dazzling illuminations, the angel’s brilliance creates an enchanting atmosphere of joy and blessings. 

A castle of wonder

Adding to the marvel, an eight-story-high LED castle debuts on the north side of New Taipei City Plaza, serving as both the main stage for performances and an immersive visual showcase that will captivate visitors over 48 days of festivities.

Making its debut at the lighting ceremony, the LED castle’s main show features new magical characters: the Magic Sage, Soul Healer, Sacred Shield Guardian, and Elemental Explorer. 

Each character wields unique magical abilities to help those facing challenges around the world, embodying the spirit of Christmas harmony and happiness. 

Also among the highlights are the Magic Angel and Santa Claus who go on a whimsical adventure filled with wonder and fun. 

Likewise, the Christmas-themed glowing parade shuttle, led by Santa Claus aboard a reindeer train, will make surprise appearances around New Taipei City Plaza’s The City of Magic and Banqiao Station Square’s Magical Paradise. 

Spreading joy and festive cheer, these charming processions are sure to delight visitors of all ages.
