This day is the birthday of the Republic of China: Double Tenth National Day. The day is celebrated every year on October 10th to commemorate the 1911Wuch��ang Uprising. It is a milestone in China's political development and new chapter in the history of the Chinese people. Every Double Tenth National Day the people on Taiwan and overseas Chinese from all corners come together to cheer the nation on its birthday celebration.

The National Day Parade is the main event of the morning activities on Double Tenth, and is followed by a public parade including representatives of different professions, as well as entertainment and folk performances. The Celebration Ceremony is held in front of the Presidential Office Building on the afternoon of National Day. Ministers, returned overseas Chinese, foreign dignitaries, and hundreds of thousands of people from around the country attend the ceremony.

Night activities are commenced by the National Day Fireworks Display, which turns the night sky over the major cities of Taiwan into a dazzling explosion of color, and is concluded by the elaborately planned National Day Evening Ceremony, a perfect final hurrah for the nation's birthday party.
