Hanazono Lantern Festival 2026
Lantern flying is a cherished tradition celebrated during the Lunar New Year in Taiwan, symbolizing prayers for good health and happiness. The accompanying fireworks are believed to ward off evil spirits, creating a vibrant atmosphere that marks the beginning of the new year. The sight of countless lanterns soaring into the night sky, blending with the sparkle of fireworks, is truly breathtaking.
