#Taiwan must-visit photo spots Pingxi 226 No. 32, Pingxi Street, Pingxi District, New Taipei City, Taiwan Many people go to Taiwan to put sky lanterns. In fact, there are several places in Taiwan to put them. This time, I walked to Pingxi in Taiwan and took my daughter to put them on. Curious children, first contact, find it fun. Start by painting the sky lanterns, then put the sky lanterns on, then look at the trains very close to the dwellings and play with the fairy wands. Then walk around Pingxi Old Street for snacks, a very relaxing day rural experience. If the self-drive tour is much more flexible in time, we take the bus, you have to pay attention to the last bus time, but it is worth the experience, Hong Kong can not play fairy wand, sky lanterns flying into the sky when the children feel very magical. Another meaning is that releasing sky lanterns can pray for blessings, so we can treat it as both a cultural experience and a way to pray for good luck! 226 32 Pingxi Street, Pingxi District, New Taipei City, Taiwan 226 32 Pingxi Street, Pingxi District, New Taipei City, Taiwan 226 32 Pingxi Street, Pingxi District, New Taipei City, Taiwan
