• Date: 10 October

The tenth of October — “Double Ten”, in reference to the date — is the national day of the Republic of China, commemorating the Wuchang Uprising of 1911 that led to the fall of the Qing Dynasty and the founding of the Republic. A large military parade and ceremony is held in front of the Presidential Office Building in Taipei. For travellers interested in the political dimensions of Taiwan’s identity, it is a must-see significant occasion.
