Tainan Yanshui Town's internationally renowned exhibition event: Yuejin Port Lantern Festival.
Every year during the Lunar New Year Lantern Festival, Tainan's Yanshui Town is packed with crowds coming to witness two major spectacles: the Yanshui Beehive Fireworks and the Yuejin Port Lantern Festival. One dynamic, one static, both equally spectacular. This time, we visited the Yuejin Port Lantern Festival, which combines light and water, and has won the Red Dot Design Award for its exhibition design, gaining international acclaim.
At dusk, when the colorful lights are turned on, the Yuejin Port Waterfront Park becomes a dazzling and beautiful place, filled with a dreamy and romantic atmosphere. The festival innovates every year, integrating technology, art, and the environment, and features 5G digital virtual creations and guided tours, making it truly a highlight.
The lights on the river are quite enchanting. However, the crowds at the Yuejin Port Lantern Festival can be overwhelming, with traffic and parking being a headache, not to mention the sea of people! So we visited early on a weekday before the event officially started, allowing us to enjoy the view comfortably.
