Sky lanterns are a vibrant folk tradition in northern Taiwan, voted the "Second Largest Festival Carnival in the World" by the international travel channel Discovery. Every year, the Lantern Festival draws tens of thousands of people to Pingxi for the spectacular event. Today, releasing lanterns symbolizes a prayerful act, and even on weekdays, you can see dozens of them dotting the Pingxi sky. The origins of the Pingxi Sky Lantern Festival date back to the Qing Dynasty, when bandits plagued the Pingxi and Shifen areas. Due to the mountainous terrain, villagers fled to the hills. After the bandits departed, those who remained behind would release sky lanterns at night as a signal to those taking refuge in the mountains to return home, thereby reassuring the villagers of their safety.
