Sky lanterns create spectacular sight in Taiwan to welcome Year of the Horse

Hundreds of sky lanterns drift into the night sky over a mountain town in northern Taiwan on March 3, 2026 to celebrate the Sky Lantern Festival. Local residents, along with visitors from across Taiwan and overseas, gathered at Shifen Square in New Taipei City to mark the close of the Lunar New Year festivities with the traditional release of lanterns. Visitors wrote wishes on sky lanterns and prayed for prosperity in the Year of the Horse as they released the lanterns into the sky.
