(Central News Agency, Penghu, 7th) The Penghu International Sea Fireworks Festival resumed its spectacular displays, but although the drone performance, which was canceled due to weather on the opening day, successfully took off tonight, it was affected by signal interference, causing the performance to be interrupted. Even after a second takeoff, some patterns were still not fully displayed, disappointing tens of thousands of spectators present.
Penghu International Sea Fireworks Festival held its first corporate partnership event tonight, "Cathay Life Night." In the afternoon, students and teachers from Penghu Maritime Affairs Vocational High School held charity activities such as food sales and second-hand goods bazaars around Guanyinting in Magong; art groups from Magong elementary and junior high schools, Wen-Guang Junior High, and Magong Senior High School also presented orchestral performances, dance classes, and children's musicals, warming up for the evening event.
Chen Mei-ling, Director of the Penghu County Government's Tourism Department, represented the county government in presenting a letter of appreciation to Cathay Life.
The highlight of the evening, the fireworks show, launched a total of 7,117 various fireworks, lasting approximately 10 minutes. As for the drone light performance, which was canceled on the 4th due to weather, 700 drones took off as scheduled tonight, but signal interference occurred during the performance, causing it to be temporarily suspended. After the fireworks display concluded, the drone show resumed, but some patterns were still incomplete, leaving the audience regretful.
Penghu County Government stated that this year's Penghu International Sea Fireworks Festival will last for nearly 4 months, with a total of 33 sessions, including 5 "Corporate Theme Nights," and will cooperate with Hankyu Travel International Co., Ltd. from Japan; Cathay Life is the first cooperating enterprise.
