The national holiday known as Taiwan National Day or Double Ten Day is observed in Taiwan every year on October 10. Nearly all Taiwanese have the day off from work. In mainland China, Double Ten Day is known as the Anniversary of the Wuchang Uprising, where commemorative ceremonies are conducted. In Taiwan, thousands of people flock to the capital to attend the large celebration parades in front of the presidential palace. Attending foreign diplomats and dignitaries sit alongside the president and view the people taking part. Events include military parades, dancing, music, and fireworks.
Taiwan National Day commemorates the beginning of the Wuchang Uprising in China on October 10, 1911. The revolution brought an end to the Ching (Qing) Dynasty, which the Manchus had created in 1644. The insurrection resulted in the establishment of the Republic of China on January 1, 1912.

Here’s an interesting observation. Although it changes every year, the dates 4/4,6/6,8/8,10/10 and 12/12 are always the same day of the week as the last day of February. The dates 5/9, 9/5, 7/11 and 11/7 are too.
