Experiência de Oração com Lanternas do Céu na Rua Antiga de Shifen

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.

放天燈是我這次旅行最棒的體驗！寫下我的願望，看著五彩繽紛的天燈優雅地飄向空中，那真是一個美麗又難忘的時刻。舊鐵道旁的氣氛非常棒。強烈推薦這個獨特的文化傳統！

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!

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!

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!

放天燈是十分一個神奇又難忘的體驗。將願望寫在天燈上，看著它緩緩升空，讓人感到平靜又充滿希望。熱鬧的老街、友善的攤販，以及鐵道背景，讓這裡更添魅力。這是一個必訪的文化傳統，非常適合拍照留念，創造難忘的回憶。

¡Lo pasamos increíble en la experiencia de las linternas celestes de Shifen! 🌟 Pudimos escribir nuestros deseos en las linternas y verlas elevarse hacia el cielo (bueno, lo intentamos, la lluvia trató de bajarlas 😂). ¡A pesar del clima lluvioso, nos divertimos muchísimo! 🌟 Un gran agradecimiento a nuestro fotógrafo, el adolescente de la tienda que capturó nuestros momentos, ¡súper amable, talentoso y que hizo nuestra experiencia aún más especial! 🤩 ¡Gracias a Klook por hacer que esta experiencia fuera perfecta! 👏 ¡Altamente recomendado! 💫

You can sign up on-site, but booking through Klook in advance will make the lantern release process smoother (just show the QR code after booking). There were single-color lanterns and, I think, five-color ones? The colorful lanterns are available, and while the single-color ones are cheaper, it feels like writing your wishes on a colorful one might bring more blessings. If you hand over your smartphone, the lantern vendor will enthusiastically take photos for you, which made for a wonderful memory. Please give it a try! Also, the sweet and spicy chicken wings stuffed with rice sold at the food stalls are incredibly delicious, so be sure to try them. The trains passing by just barely are also powerful and exciting to watch.
