The Pingxi Sky Lantern Festival is an annual Lantern Festival held in Pingxi District, New Taipei City. In recent years, it has developed into a well-known festival in Taiwan. It is as famous as the Saltwater Bee Pao. Sky lanterns have become one of the symbols of Pingxi. There are many vendors selling sky lanterns on Pingxi Old Street and Shifen Old Street. Each one costs about NT$100. When you buy it, you can directly use the store's frame and the pen prepared by the store to write down prayers and wishes on the sky lanterns. When you take it to the railway, ask the shop owner to spread out the oil paper and fix it on the bottom of the sky lantern. The sky lantern will expand immediately after ignition. At this time, you need to take pictures quickly, as the sky lantern will get hotter and hotter. It feels good to have sky lanterns on the railways, but pay special attention to the trains.

Jiufen Old Street is in Ruifang District, Xinbei City. In the northeast of Taipei, it takes 1.5 hours to take a bus from downtown Taipei. Jiufen is a mini mountain city surrounded by mountains and seas. Except for mountains and seas, the other is no different from the old streets of the ancient town. There are shops on both sides of the street, selling milk tea drinks, tea cakes, fish production, coffee shops, homestays, and grocery stores. Dried bean buns and red meat rounds are very good. Amei Tea House is a landmark, crossing the old street with Jianqi Road. There are many tourists and no tickets.

Shifen Old Street

Historic buildings

阿歪609

Shifen Old Street is located in Pingxi District, New Taipei City. It stretches along the railway, with shops selling sky lanterns and snacks on both sides. Come here on a rainy day, the stone road is shining with rain, and the air is filled with the smell of damp grass and trees, which makes it feel hazy and poetic. When releasing sky lanterns, the store will let you write your wishes indoors first, even if it rains. After the train passes, everyone walks to the railway tracks with umbrellas. The sky lanterns are lit in the rain, and the flames reflect the warm yellow of the paper lanterns. The rain slides down the lampshade, like a layer of transparent gauze. Watching the sky lanterns slowly rise, flickering in the rain and fog and drifting towards the mountainside, it feels like the wishes have become gentle.
