About Pingxi Sky Lantern Festival


While Chinese New Year has a tendency to get all the attention, one of the greater diffused and beguiling celebratory days within the Chinese calendar is the annual Sky Lantern Festival. In a blaze of luminous glory, 100,000 to 200,000 warm air balloons emblazon a full moonlit sky. Although the vacation is widely known all across Asia, nowhere in the global is it more identified than Pingxi, a faraway mountain town an hour-long power from Taipei.

According to the elders of Pingxi, the Sky Lantern Festival originated inside the Xing Dynasty, greater than thousand years in the past. At that time, bands of outlaws frequently raided the lowland villages, forcing citizens to are seeking shelter in the lush, verdant mountains. Village watchmen used “fire balloons” as alerts to inform the refugees that their houses were safe another time. 

When the ones hiding in the hills saw the celestial flares, they knew it changed into time to go domestic. Upon arriving in Pingxi, you could both stroll along Old Street or head without delay to the primary degree. They’d advocate hitting the Old Street first to get a more intimate revel in of the main industrial thoroughfare earlier than the 80,000 festival attendees arrive.
