This the walk way to the Lantern Festival, which is huge event in Taiwan. The festival starts the week after Chinese New Years, and lasts for two weeks. We saw hundreds of Lanterns, took many pictures, and walked until we were ready to drop.

 |
| The Lanterns are constructed like floats for a parade, but are built in place by High Schools and Colleges. Each lantern display has a theme or story. The material used is a paper thin fabric, and then there are lights placed inside of the figures. |
 |
| Some of the Lanterns are very large. This one was quite the attraction for the boys. |
 |
| Our grandsons may recognize this character. We heard that during the 14 days of the Festival there are about one million visitors. |
