What to expect
In Taiwan, there's a custom of carrying lanterns during the Lantern Festival, which falls on the 15th day of the first month of the Lunar calendar. This tradition symbolizes praying for good fortune and warding off evil spirits, and it has been passed down through generations, deeply valued by the people. One of the most eye-catching events is the "Pingxi Sky Lantern Festival," where countless sky lanterns adorn the night sky! People write their wishes for health, peace, and various other aspirations on paper lanterns, using the heat of the fire to make them rise into the air. Each sky lantern carries people's prayers and dreams, shining in the dark night and flying into the distance, creating a spectacular and dreamlike scene. This activity, full of Taiwanese emotion and warmth, is also a very popular and touching traditional festival for tourists.



Reviews
It was rainy from the moment we arrived, but that didn’t deter the guides while we were out. It was definitely a special experience, and was made better with the assistance and guidance of the leaders of our group.
