Diamond Jubilee fever has spread to I-lan, north central Taiwan, where TKU’s Lanyang Campus is scheduled to hold a dazzling array of celebratory activities. The activities will be part of a vast school fair, which will feature sports competitions, tree planting events, a rare light exhibition, and live entertainment.

The event will be held on the 6th of November – the first day of the TKU Diamond Jubilee celebrations. As one of the planned events, students and staff will plant approximately 500 trees. There will also be a volley ball competition and a light show, wherein dormitory lights will be organized to form massive characters depicting “TKU 60”.

The entertainment will include a drum performance, a tradition Chinese dragon dance, and a vibrant performance by dance sensation, Dance Flow. The addition of a talent contest in this year’s festivities, with 500 NTD cash prizes on offer, has drawn widespread interest among students.

TKU clubs and societies have also become involved, teaming up with clubs from neighboring Fo Guang University to choreograph, practice, and rehearse a variety of dance routines to be performed during the school fair. 4th year organizer and student, Lin Zhe-Yi, summed up the collective TKU feeling: “I’m really happy to be a part of all of this. This year’s expanded celebrations have made everyone really excited.”
