Pingxi Sky Lantern Festival

Since the 1990s the New Taipei City Government has supported the Pingxi Sky Lantern Festival and regular lantern releases as tourist attractions. These are officially organized events, with details about management, safety regulations, and promotional resources provided by the local authorities. Daily tours take tourists to light lanterns on the railway line near the station, between trains, and release them. The nearby mountains provide an scenic backdrop and keep the lanterns within the valley.
