Pingxi Sky Lantern Experience in Taiwan
Program idea Taiwan
Going to the old street in Pingxi is one of the more charming mountain towns by the capital city of Taiwan, Taipei. Pingxi is famous for their sky lanterns which is a beautiful combination of heritage and mementos of hope and dreams.
Visitors get to choose from different colored sky lanterns which represent different wishes. Guests write their personal messages to be released into the sky, and for a moment, their lantern is the only bright colored object in the sky above the historic street, with a variety of hills as the backdrop. Their village is transcended by a lively train which is as unique as it is real.
Guests will enjoy a very scenic train ride on the way to the event, with a lot of beautiful and lush countryside to view. Guests can also enjoy nearby local food stalls, waterfalls, traditional tea houses, and more. The event is always a casual cultural experience.
The event can be enjoyed by many, and is always a favorite for new visitors and also, for those skipping the big city. The event is especially beautiful during the sunset and the Lantern Festival.
