That was enough. An exciting lantern-flying experience.

You often see sky lanterns in guidebooks. I tried it and it was more fun than I expected. When I arrived at Shifen Station, there were many shops selling sky lanterns around, so I bought one in my favorite color. Write your wish on a small balloon-like sky lantern, light a fire under the lantern, and just like a balloon, you send it up into the sky with the updrafts generated by the heat! The shop staff took lots of photos with their smartphones right before the lantern was launched, which was also fun. They spoke many languages, so they even gave me instructions on how to pose in simple Japanese. It is said that if you send a sky lantern with a wish written on it up into the sky, your wish will come true, and it is a popular tourist spot in Taiwan that attracts not only local Taiwanese tourists, but also Japanese tourists from various countries! #Taiwan #Taipei #SkyLanternRaising #AmazingView #Shifen #SupportTourism
