Please support Cijin Sunset Bar and avoid bringing food and drinks from convenience stores… and if you bring your own Fireworks, please help clean up!

Thanks to the awesome response to COVID-19 from the Taiwan government, this might be a safer place to celebrate July 4th than anywhere back in the US, but we will still be following CDC guidelines and the ferry and any roped off or enclosed space will require a temperature check.

Transportation inconvenience is an inherent restriction facing Taitung, but by hosting hot air balloon events over recent years, Taitung has successfully reinvented itself. The tourism industry is flourishing, along with the associated service industries which have been positively impacted and benefited. Getting tourists to see Taitung as the must-visit destination based on its advantages and making hot air balloons a sustainable tourism powerhouse are the keys to revitalizing Taitung’s economy and creating real output value.
