In early February, the Hsinchu city government held a Chinese New Year's event entitled "The Hsinchu International Festival for Glass Arts." Besides bringing in glass works from abroad, it also exhibited domestic glass creations. Moreover, there was a demonstration of the manufacturing process, so that people could get a glimpse of the magical world of glass.
二月上旬，新竹市政府也舉辦一場名為「竹塹國際玻璃藝術節」的嘉年華會，除了邀集國際玻璃藝術作品外，也展出本土的玻璃藝品，並在現場示範玻璃藝品製作過程，讓民眾一窺玻璃的神奇世界。
