Taiwan Lantern Festival

The Taiwan Lantern Festival had been held in Miaoli this year. It is not too far from HsinChu where we live in. Thus, my classmates and I decided to there in the evening Thursday which can avoid too many people in holidays. It is about thirty kilometer, so we went there by riding motor. The traffic was awful though it was not a holiday. Fortunately, there were good plan to help guys who was from other places.

It was the biggest lantern festival I have ever seen. There were lots of vendors around the place. On the other hand, the number of lantern was larger than before also. The most important reason was that the lantern in the past only from sponsor and students who had joined the competition. However, there were lots of lanterns from jail this year which also had the better quality.









Such a king of lantern this year was also from the jail. It attracted lots of people who wanted to take pictures with it.



It is the main lantern this year, the year of the rabbit. It was support by Chunghwa telecom. As a result, the rabbit took the cell phone. Nonetheless, many people thought this one is as same as the main lantern 12 year ago.





On the other hand, to celebrate 100 years of R.O.C, there was a pavilion exhibit some history. And they have chosen the most important 100 people in Taiwan history also, Jay Chou included.



I made a pledge for New Year; I hope it would be success.
