Sky Lantern Prayer Experience at Shifen Old Street

Our Shifen sky lantern experience was unforgettable! We came with wishes written on our lantern and left with tons of happy memories (and a lot of photos 😄). The staff were super friendly, energetic, and patient—they made sure our lantern was ready, guided us through every step, and became our personal photographers for the moment. They didn’t just sell us a lantern; they helped create a beautiful memory that we’ll bring home from Taiwan. Thank you for making our Shifen visit extra special! 🎈✨

We saw this lantern activity on tv and thought it would be fun. It turned out to be really spiritual in that we were able to put our wishes on each side of the lantern and then release them. Many lanterns we saw had winning the lottery or finding the perfect mate on them. Ours ended up being very similar even though we had written our wishes independently. Mostly about good health and family. I found this to be a very personal and rewarding activity. Perhaps that was the point all along

This was an awesome way to end our day at Shifen Old Street! As friends, we each picked our lantern 🏮 colors — each carrying its own special meaning — and took time to craft our messages of love, hope, wealth, and health. The moment of setting them off together was truly magical, watching our wishes rise into the sky. 🌌✨ A meaningful, fun, and unforgettable experience I’d highly recommend!

The sky lantern experience was amazing! I loved the place and really enjoyed writing our wishes on the lantern. There are so many food stalls to choose from—we tried the black pig sausage and it was delicious. Overall, it was such a memorable and fun experience!

We had a wonderful experience with the Sky Lantern activity in Shifen. The staff who assisted us were very friendly, accommodating, and made the whole process easy and enjoyable. They also helped take photos for us and even spoke Tagalog, which made us feel very welcome and comfortable. A special mention as well to our tour guide, Susan Chang. While we were busy writing our wishes and enjoying the lantern experience, she thoughtfully bought us peanut ice cream rolls to try. It was such a kind gesture and made an already memorable experience even better. The combination of the beautiful activity, helpful staff, and Susan’s thoughtfulness made this one of the highlights of our Taiwan trip. Highly recommended!

Releasing a sky lantern in Shifen is a magical and memorable experience. Writing your wishes on the lantern and watching it float into the sky feels both peaceful and hopeful. The vibrant old street, friendly vendors, and the backdrop of the railway tracks make it even more charming. It’s a must-try cultural tradition, perfect for photos and unforgettable moments.

Highly recommended! It is so meaningful and special to have this. For those concerned with the pollution, our tour guide said there are designated cleaners for it for eco friendly tourism. Thank you Klook!

Releasing a sky lantern in Shifen was the highlight of my trip! Writing my wishes and watching the colorful lantern gracefully float up into the sky was a truly beautiful and memorable moment. The atmosphere along the old tracks is fantastic. Highly recommend this unique cultural tradition!

The experience was remarkable. Even for solo travelers, people from the lantern store will help you out and even take pictures and video of you! Highly recommended.

Our sky lantern experience was incredibly smooth. When we arrived, the shop had already prepared the lanterns with the help of Klook guide Vivian Liu, allowing us to write our wishes immediately. The photo session before releasing the lanterns was efficient and fun; the staff kept everyone laughing while taking pictures, and before we knew it, we had captured wishes on all four sides. The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant. Finally, they even helped us take a group photo. The service was professional and thoughtful, making it a highly recommended experience.
