In early 2026, three tourism promotional videos produced by the Northeast Coast and Yilan Coast National Scenic Area Administration (hereinafter referred to as the Northeast Coast Administration) of the Tourism Administration, Ministry of Transportation and Communications, once again shone on the international stage, winning one gold, silver, and bronze award each in the Tourism Area category of the "Golden City Gate Award" presented by ITB Berlin. It is worth mentioning that the Northeast Coast Administration also won this honor last year in 2025 with its video "The Pulse of Mountains and Seas on the Grass Ridge Ancient Trail," and this year it continues to present the magnificent natural scenery and unique cultural charm of the Northeast Coast to global travelers.

The ITB Berlin Travel Fair is one of the world's largest travel trade shows, attracting thousands of exhibitors and hundreds of thousands of visitors annually, making it a major event in the international tourism industry. The "Golden Gate Award" is an international multimedia tourism award presented during ITB, often referred to as the "Oscars of the tourism industry." A jury of international filmmakers professionally evaluates multimedia tourism promotional videos (such as films, advertisements, and websites) produced worldwide, recognizing their excellence in creativity, editing, music, and narrative pacing.

The three award-winning films this year include two 5-minute feature films and one 1-minute short film. All of them showcase the unique features of Northeast Coast tourism with their superb video editing, dynamic music and rhythmic storytelling. They are now available for viewing on the official website of the Northeast Coast National Scenic Area Administration .

"Boundless Mountains and Seas - Northeast Corner | Beyond Nature" (5 minutes) - Gold Award

The film showcases the magnificent and varied natural landscapes and diverse and unique cultural charm of the Northeast Coast. From festival activities to the local town atmosphere, through dynamic and smooth images and light music, the film transforms the geographical and cultural characteristics of the Northeast Coast into a highly perceptive rhythm, creating an immersive sensory journey.

"Island Whispers: Breathe Island" (5 minutes) - Silver Award

The film opens from the perspective of a female traveler, presenting a healing island journey through a story of chance encounters. From the dreamlike silhouette of Turtle Island seen from the sea to exploring every inch of its scenery upon arrival, the film depicts the island's unique charm with a gentle pace, allowing viewers to take a deep breath and experience the tranquility and beauty of nature.

Play Unbound (1 minute) - Bronze Award

The video centers on a foreign couple celebrating their 1000th day together by cycling along the Old Grass Ridge Loop Cycling Trail. In just one minute, it showcases the fun and diverse attractions of the Northeast Coast, including the Old Grass Ridge Tunnel, Sandiao Cape Lighthouse, Mao'ao Fishing Village, and seaside cafes. Fast-paced editing and dynamic transitions, paired with upbeat music, present the joy and energy of low-carbon tourism.

The Northeast Coast National Scenic Area Administration stated that winning awards on the international stage for two consecutive years is an affirmation of the unique scenery of the Northeast Coast and Yilan coast. They also hope that the video will attract more international tourists to personally experience the beauty of the mountains and sea of the Northeast Coast.
