Fly a Sky Lantern in Taipei!! 🏮🛤️

I went to Taipei earlier this summer and didn’t want to just stay within Taipei City, so I decided to hire a driver to drive us around the outskirts of Taipei, and Shifen is the second stop.

Shifen is an old town famous for their sky lanterns and train tracks, so of course, we had to light and fly one.

Before lighting and flying the sky lantern, we had to write all our wishes down. Don’t worry if your mind went blank and had nothing in your mind, the stores provide a list of traditional chinese blessings and you can gain inspiration from there.

The staffs are really professional with their photo taking, just give them your phone and they will take loads of pictures and videos for you.

It was quite an interesting visit since a lot of jurisdictions have banned sky lantern (like Hong Kong, where I am from). I would recommend visiting this place if you’re in Taipei.
