[2025 Taoyuan ] Travel Guide for Taiwan Lantern Festival 2025 (Updated Mar)

This year's Taoyuan Lantern Festival is massive, with numerous exhibition areas and a plethora of exciting activities! For those with stamina, you can start from the plaza in front of Taoyuan Metro A18 Cathay Station, walk all the way to Qingpu Park, then head to the A19 Exhibition Plaza, and finally end at the baseball stadium. Just this route alone can take up most of your day, with endless walking, eating, and photo opportunities! We spent 5 hours on the day and still didn't finish exploring - the scale is truly enormous. ✅ Take it slow: Spread it over two days! • Day 1: Explore the A18 Lantern Festival area and slowly immerse yourself in the light and shadow art. • Day 2: Visit A19 + Qingpu Park, and enjoy the outdoor lantern scenes and food. This time, the transportation planning is excellent. Whether you walk, ride a bike, or take the metro, you can easily enjoy the 2025 Taoyuan Lantern Festival!

The Taoyuan Lantern Festival extends from Airport MRT A18 to A19. The exhibition area is particularly large, making it very convenient whether you drive or take public transportation. The weekend crowds are overwhelming, so it's better to visit before noon on weekdays. In addition to the two main stars, Pikachu and Snorlax, Iron Man and Attack on Titan are also popular photo spots. There are also some interactive games in the exhibition area that both adults and children can enjoy together. The planning is really well done! There is also a market and dining area on site, so visitors can eat before continuing to explore the lantern festival. The site uses a self-recycling system, but there are also maintenance staff cleaning, so the area is quite clean. A whole row of portable toilets is set up, with cleaning staff maintaining them outside. It's clear that the Taoyuan government has put a lot of effort into planning this event!

This year's Taiwan Lantern Festival has a huge exhibition area, and each area displays a different charm of light and shadow art, making people linger. In the Qiaxi Road area, the lantern festival combines Eastern and Western religious elements to create a lighting installation full of spirituality and cultural atmosphere. Walking through it, you can feel the interweaving of colors of various religions, forming a unique visual experience. In the Children's Art Museum, the most eye-catching thing is the Pokémon theme installation, especially the huge Snorlax and Pikachu, which have become the most eye-catching focus on the scene. If you want to take a photo with these super cute characters, you need to queue up patiently! There are also limited quantities of Snorlax stickers and cards available for giveaway on site. Lotte Baseball Stadium brought a unique and creative light show. The biggest highlight was the use of a giant baseball as a projection screen, combined with lights to project wonderful images. There are also various lighting installations and interactive light exhibits in the stadium. Whether fans or ordinary tourists, everyone can enjoy this visual feast of light, shadow and sports. #FebruaryGoodPlaces2025 #TaiwanLanternFestival #Taoyuan #pokemon #AttackOnTitan #TaoyuanLotteBaseballField #TaoyuanChildren'sArtMuseum

This year's Taiwan Lantern Festival is grandly held in Taoyuan, with the most eye-catching attraction being the main lantern designed by artist Li Mingdao (AKIBO) - 'Infinite Paradise'. This main lantern, standing at 18 meters tall, features a modern abstract infinity symbol, blending spheres and geometric shapes to create a unique futuristic amusement park imagery. The design is inspired by roller coasters and water slides, subverting the traditional amusement park concept to create a 'park without rides' that is full of infinite imagination and fun. The exhibition area is vast and well-planned, with free shuttle buses provided to allow visitors to easily travel between the two exhibition areas. Whether it's the innovative design of the main lantern, the spectacular light shows, or the lantern works meticulously crafted by students and artists, all showcase the unique charm of the Taiwan Lantern Festival. This year's festival not only brings the shock of light and shadow art but also offers a fantastical journey full of imagination, definitely worth experiencing in person!
