The grand finale, the "Island Shadows Dancing Waves" fire dance performance, at 7:30 PM on August 17th, is the highlight of the event. A collaborative performance by the Fantu Art Performance Team and the Coming True Fire Dance Company, the performance draws on the ancient fishing net culture of Toucheng Fishing Village, combined with a magnificent and dazzling fire dance performance. Under the interplay of moonlight and waves, the beach sky ignites. Organizers sincerely invite visitors from all over Taiwan to seize the opportunity to witness this breathtaking fire dance spectacle in Waiao.
For the first time, this year's event is collaborating with travel agencies to launch a limited-edition one-day tour, the "Railway Wave Tour." From cycling and fishing to guided tours of local attractions, and finally returning to the beach to enjoy music and fire dances, visitors can experience the natural, cultural, and artistic charm of the Northeast Coast all at once.
Hotels and accommodations in the surrounding Yilan area have also responded by launching a "Stay and Get Gifts" campaign, where guests can redeem coupons to participate in the market and performances. There are also photo booths, art experience coupons, and limited-edition souvenirs on site, and shuttle services are provided, allowing travelers to travel easily and immerse themselves in the romantic summer atmosphere.
The "Wai'ao Moonlit Night Wave Market" is only available until August 17th, so don't miss it! Everyone is invited to gather at Wai'ao Beach and experience the excitement of the fire dance lighting up the night sky.
