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!

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!

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.
