In Taiwan, during the Lantern Festival, lantern festivals and lantern fairs all over the country compete for beauty and show off their own characteristics. In recent years, mainland costume idol dramas have become popular in Taiwan, with horse-faced skirts and flying fish costumes gaining favor among young audiences.
In Nantou, the main lantern "Blessings Come from the East", which is more than 10 meters high, stands at the local lantern fair exhibition site. This year is the ninth consecutive year that Shanghai has participated in the Taipei Lantern Festival by sending lights in response.
