Anyone holding an outdoor activity in rainy northern Taiwan has to depend on fate to make any money. So the main reason for choosing Taoyuan for the inauguration was the venue's special feature: The transparent "sky tent" that can keep out the elements while allowing natural sunlight in, thus insuring that the event would not be rained out or blown off course.
在多雨的北台灣舉辦戶外活動要靠天吃飯，盛大的總統就職典禮選上「巨蛋」，第一個著眼點就是看上能遮風避雨，又可採自然天光的「天篷」，以確保典禮不會讓風雨掃興。
