The biggest and quirkiest event and topic of New Year’s Eve 2026 happened in Taitung. The lineup of the “Dong! Take Me Away” New Year’s Eve concert was ultra star-studded: Nine One One, Gasiyawa, Li Yinghong, Miss Ko, Zhang Huichun, Della Ding, Samingad, Horshio, Mavis Fan & 100%, A-Lin, and A-Mei. Not only did the event break with traditional formats, it kept the post-New Year’s conversations going. Among them, A-Lin shouting from the stage, “No. 52, Zhongzheng Road is my first love,” unexpectedly sparked a nationwide search, making it the most bizarre and hilarious follow-up of this year’s New Year’s Eve.
The “No. 52, Zhongzheng Road” incident started when A-Lin, in a super whacky mood during Taitung’s New Year’s party, went on a hilarious tangent while chatting on stage—first using the Central Mountain Range as a divider for rehearsal lines, then singing the lyrics “Nalu ONE” as “Nalu 7-11,” calling fireworks “firecrackers,” and repeatedly clamoring for drinks (alcohol). She suddenly switched to first-love mode, blurting out “No. 52, Zhongzheng Road,” and revealed her first romance happened there: “My first relationship was right there. My first boyfriend gave me a Vitasoy to drink there, right by that tree—it’s true, the moment I set foot here, I feel that first-love sensation!” As soon as she arrived in Taitung, the first love vibes had the crowd in stitches and the internet exploded.
Once the “No. 52, Zhongzheng Road” joke landed, side effects kicked in quickly. A man claiming to be the landlord of that address, Uncle Lin, appeared on Threads, saying: “A-Lin, why did you have to mention No. 52, Zhongzheng Road, Taitung City? Reporters I know keep blitzing my phone! Uncle Lin is the landlord...” He also commented on related posts, joking that he was “the only victim this New Year’s Eve.” Unexpectedly, netizens didn’t stop—they kept piling on, leaving comments like, “Are you the one who gave her the Vitasoy?” or “A-Lin’s husband Huang Ganlin probably doesn’t like this,” turning the thread even wilder.
Maps Now Flooded with A-Lin Romance Landmarks
Even crazier, some netizens actually went on Google Maps and began populating No. 52, Zhongzheng Road with A-Lin-themed romance locations: “A-Lin’s first Vitasoy,” “A-Lin’s first-love date spot,” “A-Lin’s first-love tree.” The comment section went wild: “The hottest check-in spot of 2026!” “My stomach hurts from laughing at these comments.” The whole thing became a meme for everyone celebrating the New Year, making Taitung’s count down party famous across Taiwan with this mysterious address everyone started searching for.
