Taiwan Lantern Festival

Also this year, the sky lanterns were released to follow the wind in the night sky of the mountain town in Pingxi. Peaple were rising up to the ancestors to report that all was well and to pray for blessings.
The lanterns are lit, hopes slowly rise, and the flames of prayer dance in the air as the lanterns magically transform into wings of hope and desire.

As the night was falling, the lanterns’ lights were starting to look even more magical.
That was one of the largest Chinese New Year festivals in Taiwan.
