Thousands of sky lanterns carrying people’s wishes lit up the night sky on February 12, 2022, in northern Taiwan to celebrate a local lantern festival. The Pingxi Sky Lantern Festival in Pingxi District, New Taipei City, happens every year. Participants write their prayers and wishes on the lanterns then release them into the sky in the hope they come true. The festival is world famous and has been listed as one of the ‘Festivals to attend before you die’ by Fodor’s, a publisher of English-language travel information.
