2026 Dajia Tiezhen Mountain Sword Well Noon Water Festival

The Dragon Boat Festival is one of Taiwan's most important traditional holidays, seen as a time for inviting good fortune and warding off bad luck. Taichung's signature "Sword Well Noon Water" event at Tiezhen Mountain in Dajia draws nearly a thousand people each year to collect the auspicious noon water and pray for wealth and luck. This year features a rich lineup of Dragon Boat Festival experiences, inviting visitors nationwide to spend the three-day holiday at the Tiezhen Mountain Sword Well Recreation Area, soaking up traditional folk culture while exploring Taichung. Under the theme "Prosperous Dragon Boat Festival, Lucky Horse Noon" — a play on homophones meaning "good luck right away" — the event wishes everyone smooth fortunes through the noon water.
