National Day of Taiwan is observed in Taiwan on January 1, celebrating the Republic of China. This holiday commemorates the Wuchang Uprising of 1911, which led to the collapse of the Qing Dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China (ROC) in 1912 by Sun Yat-sen. The celebration typically begins with the raising of the ROC flag in front of the Presidential Building, followed by the singing of the national anthem. Traditional parades featuring elements of Chinese and Taiwanese culture, such as drum teams and lion dances, are also significant aspects of the festivities. While primarily celebrated in Taiwan, some overseas Chinese communities also observe this day.
