The Lantern Festival, which falls on the 15th day after New Year's Day on the lunar calendar, is an important day in Taiwan to pray for happiness and peace for the year ahead.
A traditional event held on this day is the "Tento Uke" ceremony, in which countless lanterns are released into the night sky.
People write wishes such as good health, happiness for their family, and other wishes on paper lanterns called "tian lanterns," and then light them up and send them soaring into the sky.
The sight of the lanterns, wrapped in soft light, slowly rising into the night sky warms the hearts of those who see them.
The sight of countless lanterns being released all at once, covering the night sky, is so beautiful it feels like you've wandered into a dream world.
The moment your wish rises to heaven is an emotional moment that everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime.
