例如基隆的外木山，台東的綠島，南投的日月潭…，都吸引很多愛泳人士參與。
其中就屬一年一度的泳渡日月潭活動，是日月潭最具歷史與規模的活動．
從民國72年開始，每年的中秋節前後，來自台灣與海外各地的游泳好手，齊聚日月潭朝霧碼頭處，參與這個盛會，全程大約3000公尺，於民國91年正式列入世界游泳名人堂。每年均吸引來自四面八方數萬人游泳愛好者參加，成為『萬人泳渡日月潭』的嘉年華盛事，共同創下橫渡日月潭的長泳壯舉。

Mu Mountain in Keeloung, Green Isalnd in TaiDong, or Sun Moon Lake in Nantou.

contest.
More than 10 thousands of people will gather together, and swim across the
lake, which is about 3000 meters distance.
it is so called the biggest carnival of the fall season in Taiwan!
介紹台東寒單爺
寒單爺是掌管錢財的財神爺 。
臺東地區元宵節炮炸寒單爺的活動，是從民國 43年初開始，迄今已盛行50多年。臺東市每逢正月十五、十六之夜，各商家店舖均提早打烊，預備烘爐生火及放鞭炮，準備迎接「寒單爺」－財神爺的來臨。
由四名身材彪形矯健的轎夫抬著上身赤裸的寒單爺，由年輕氣盛真人上轎，赤膊裸身只著一條紅色短褲子，頭上包裹著紅布巾，主要是用以保護頭髮、耳朵、眼睛等頭部；手中持拿一把榕樹枝葉（註一），主要是保護眼睛，以便於把鞭炮擋下 。
一般人相信「如果鞭炮炸得越旺，那一年的財運就會越旺」，因此在寒單爺神轎經過的地方都是鞭炮炸射的對象
所以如果你想到現場看這個活動，務必全身包緊棉質衣褲，戴上耳塞及安全帽保護自己喔
