Taiwan gears up for National Day celebrations
The government is gearing up for its centennial celebrations of the founding of the Republic of China. The Republic of China is Taiwan's official name. The country was founded on October 10th, 1911.
Highlights of the celebrations include flyovers by more than 70 military aircraft and a parachute demonstration on Ketagalan Boulevard in front of the presidential office.
President Ma Ying-jeou is slated to give his National Day address. Taiwan's philanthropist, Chen Shu-chu, will lead the public in singing the national anthem.
Legislature President Wang Jin-pyng said a special rock musical will be performed in the central city of Taichung.
"World-renowned theater director Stan Lai was invited to coordinate the performance. The musical tilted 'Dreamers' combines music, dance, drama and singing. The performance is our best wishes to the birthday of our country," said Wang.
On October 10th, fireworks will be set off in Changhua county in central Taiwan.
