About this Holiday
Taiwan's National Day on October 10th — known as 'Double Ten Day' (雙十節) — commemorates the Wuchang Uprising of 1911, which sparked the Xinhai Revolution and the founding of the Republic of China. The Grand Ceremony at the Presidential Office Square in Taipei features military parades, cultural performances, and fireworks. Citizens across Taiwan display national flags and attend local celebrations, making National Day one of the most widely observed civic occasions of the year.
