The special short clip video promoting the 2017 Summer Universiade premiered at the closing ceremony of the 2015 Gwangju Universiade on July 14. The film spotlighted aerial shots of various landmarks in Taipei, accompanied by upbeat background music with Taiwanese characteristics.
As the host of the 2017 Summer Universiade, Taipei City Government focused on the theme of “running” in the two-minute-long film to combine sports with local tourism. The footage presents to the viewers the various aspects of life in Taipei and its many attractions.
The spotlight of the ad focuses on runner athlete Hank Yang. A graduate of Hualien Physical Education High School who will be enrolled as a freshman at the National Taiwan University of Sport, Yang has already set a new record in sprinting at this year’s National High School Games.
In the footage, Yang ran with other up-and-coming young athletes, taking the viewers to city landmarks such as Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, Grand Hotel, Baoan Temple, Yongkang Street, and Taipei 101.
