｜Release a Sky Lantern Yourself! Pingxi Sky Lantern Experience
The sky lantern is a cultural symbol with deep folk roots in Northern Taiwan, and has been voted by the international travel channel Discovery as the "second biggest festival carnival in the world". Every year on the night of the Lantern Festival, tens of thousands of people flock to Pingxi to participate in this grand event. Nowadays, releasing sky lanterns has become a ritual for praying for blessings, attracting crowds not only during the Lantern Festival but also at any given time, with numerous lanterns dotting the Pingxi sky.The origin of Pingxi sky lanterns dates back to the Qing dynasty, when the Pingxi and Shifen areas were plagued by bandits. As the villages were located in mountainous areas, the villagers would flee into the mountains. After the bandits left, those who stayed in the village would release sky lanterns at night as a signal to inform the villagers hiding in the mountains that it was safe to return home. This act also served to reassure the villagers of their safety.
