Lantern festivals are held in Taiwan every year to commemorate the New Year. Taiwanese people often organize fun and interesting events at the start of the year, particularly lantern festivals, sky lantern festivals, and colorful and vibrant fireworks throughout Taiwan’s provinces. According to legend, these light festivals date back to the Han Dynasty, when a devoted ruler with profound religious feelings commanded the people to light their lanterns in honor of the Buddha, so that the gods might bless everyone.. If you haven’t been to any lantern festivals in Taiwan, you may not realize how magnificent they are! It’s a shame if all you want to see are the little reddish lanterns placed in straight lines, because the lantern festivals in Taiwan are staged on a grand scale. To construct large lanterns, an entire folk narrative, fairy figures, or even landscapes will be inspired.
