The package is built around the “Southern International Lifestyle Festival” (南國國際生活節), scheduled for April 10–12 and April 17–19 in Hengchun Township (恆春鎮), with events centered at Beimen Plaza (北門廣場).
Children’s Day activities will run from April 3 to April 6 at the National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts (Weiwuying, 衛武營國家藝術文化中心). The program will center on a dinosaur-themed event featuring stage performances, interactive exhibits, and science education components.

Megaport has grown from an indie-focused gathering into one of southern Taiwan’s most prominent live music events, and organizers say Hsieh’s return, 20 years after the festival’s launch, shows both the event’s longevity and its expanding draw.
Just 238 contestants advanced to the final round after successfully throwing six consecutive “yes” results with jiaobei (筊杯), or crescent-shaped wooden divination blocks, during the preliminary heats held throughout the Lunar New Year period.
