The Pingxi Sky Lantern Festival is an event held in Pingxi District, New Taipei City every year during the Lantern Festival. In recent years, it has developed into a well-known festival throughout Taiwan. It is as famous as the Yanshui Beehive Rockets. There is a reputation of ‘beehive rockets in the south and sky lanterns in the north’. Therefore, sky lanterns have become one of the symbols of Pingxi. There are many vendors selling sky lanterns on both Pingxi Old Street and Shifen Old Street. One costs about 100 New Taiwan dollars. After buying it, you can directly use the frame provided by the store and the pen prepared by the store to write blessings and wishes on the sky lantern. Then take it to the railway. Ask the store to spread and fix the oiled paper at the bottom of the sky lantern. After lighting, the sky lantern will expand immediately. At this time, take pictures quickly as the sky lantern will become hotter and hotter. Releasing sky lanterns on the railway feels very good, but pay special attention to the train. Opening hours: February 17th – February 24th. The specific business status is subject to the opening situation on that day.
