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!

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!

Taiwan hosts the Lantern Festival every year after the Lunar New Year holiday, with the location changing annually. This year, 2025, the festival was held in Taoyuan. Next year, it is scheduled to take place in Chiayi County from March 3 to March 15. The types of lanterns displayed change each year, often inspired by the zodiac or the festival's theme, ensuring that even repeat visitors find something new and exciting. Additionally, Taiwan's relatively mild winter weather makes it an ideal time to explore the festival on foot. It's also a great opportunity to discover the charm of a new city in Taiwan. Why not consider adding this event to your travel plans for next year?

Although it ended on 2/23, I found that Taoyuan residents were very orderly both on the MRT and at the Lantern Festival. The on-site staff guided and assisted people in controlling the flow of people. They were really serious! Furthermore, each lantern festival theme was explained by on-site staff, which was very considerate. They also distributed park route maps so you wouldn’t get lost. There were free shuttle buses available. I hope the lantern festival will be held in Taoyuan next year as well! Support Taoyuan!

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!

#2月好去地方2025 The 2025 Taiwan Lantern Festival will be held in Taoyuan, and the scale is really huge! The entire lighting area is spread across multiple venues, such as the Qingpu High Speed ​​Rail Station and surrounding parks, where there are lighting exhibitions. Each area has a different theme, which is dazzling. I took my baby to see it, he was running around happily, his favorite was the airplane-shaped lights. The interactive installations at the lantern festival were also great, children could touch and play with them and were completely immersed in the fun. The design of the entire lantern festival is not only suitable for families, but also for couples or friends to take photos. It is truly a night full of memories!
