I chose a tour with a Japanese guide to participate with my parents. I was worried about the crowds, but I was given a numbered ticket to raise the lantern and was able to take a special bus to the venue, so it went very smoothly. The parents were also really happy to be able to experience the beautiful lantern raising. I made the right choice by choosing a tour with a Japanese guide!

This is an unforgettable experience. Tourists from all over the world and Taiwanese people come together to release sky lanterns. It feels like placing more than a hundred sky lanterns in the sky together. I highly recommend everyone to try it!

Review for: Pingxi Sky Lantern Festival (7 Feb 2020)

There are other attractions nearby before the main event. It is a scaled down event compared to the actual day’s event but was glad to do this to avoid the crowd (since it is the Coronavirus period) and the long wait.

It was a really nice experience. The tour guide made sure that everyone is already complete before going inside the bus. Laurent is a very nice & friendly tour guide. The event itself was a little bit tiring due to the overcrowding of participants. But the releasing of the sky lanterns made it all worth it.

Review for: KLOOK Early Bird Exclusive: Pingxi Sky Lantern Festival (February 19, 2019)

Organized! Its just that there were TOO many people (given as it was a festival). it will take you a few hours - as in more than 2 hours standing while waiting - till you reach the stage area and be given your turn. 6 people share one lantern too. Make sure to bring food, a foldable chair and lots of patience.But overall the tour was a-ok, couldnt ask for more.
