In Taiwan (China), the annual lantern festival has attracted a large number of domestic and foreign tourists to admire. In the spirit of welcoming the new year of the Snake 2025, the image of the snake has become the center of attention at lantern festivals across the island, from Taipei in the north to Pingtung in the south.

The Taipei Lantern Festival, which took place from February 2 to 16, attracted many visitors when it introduced a special lantern measuring 13 meters high. This lantern was designed in the shape of a playful snake, moving to the rhythm of music and light projections.

According to Xinhua News Agency, in addition to admiring the sparkling lanterns with many different designs, visitors also compete to solve the riddles written on them.

This festival not only brings eye-catching performances to the audience but also shows the unique features of local culture in particular and Chinese culture in general.

This year, the lanterns, meticulously crafted by artisans from Shanghai, left a lasting impression on the festival-goers. The lanterns combine traditional Chinese paper-cutting with modern city landscape designs, leaving an impression on the viewers.

Meanwhile, lanterns from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces lit up the festivities in Xinbei and Nantou. Many visitors were impressed by the intricately designed lanterns. Each piece vividly depicted mythical creatures and warriors from ancient times.

In Pingxi, northern Taiwan (China), thousands of Kongming lanterns were released into the sky, carrying wishes for a new year of success, health and happiness.

Among those who wrote their wishes on the Kongming lantern was Anqi, a senior high school student from Taipei City (Taiwan, China). "I hope to get good grades in my exams and that everything will go as planned," Anqi wrote in the lantern and released it into the sky.
