Lantern Festival


Lantern Festival marks the end of the Chinese New
Year celebrations. Traditional Chinese lanterns are
often seen hanging up. They are red because red is
the lucky colour

We went to the Taiwan Lantern Festival - a lantern
display where we saw lanterns of all shapes and sizes.
These were the closest designs to the traditional
Chinese lanterns

This was one of my favourites :)

There were so many different designs, all contributed
by universities, businesses etc.

Some of them were very impressive!

There was an area particularly aimed at children

This was the centrepiece of the display - a giant horse
lantern - because this year is the year of the horse

We had never seen so many lanterns in our lives!
