A lighting-up ceremony was launched grandly in Hsinchu County Stadium by the Hsinchu County government in the afternoon to celebrate the beginning of the 2015 Taiwan International Festival of Hakka Culture, which will be held from Oct. 14-25.
The festival will comprise various events that will involve scholars, industry representatives and the general public in a celebration of Hakka culture, according to the website.
