Sky lanterns are released ahead of the traditional Chinese Lantern Festival in Pingxi
Sky lanterns are released ahead of the traditional Chinese Lantern Festival in Pingxi, New Taipei city, northern Taiwan, February 17, 2013. Believers gathered to release sky lanterns as a form of prayer for good luck and blessings. The tradition of releasing lanterns began during the Ching Dynasty when bands of outlaws frequently raided villages, forcing local residents to seek refuge in the mountains. The lanterns were signals used by the village watchmen to inform the refugees that their houses were safe again. The Lantern Festival or Yuan Xiao Jie is a Chinese festival celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first month in the lunar year in the Chinese calendar.

Sky lanterns gracefully ascend into the air ahead of the traditional Chinese Lantern Festival, creating a mesmerizing spectacle that symbolizes hope and blessings. The scene captures believers who have gathered to release these radiant lanterns as an act of prayer for good luck and protection.

The Lantern Festival or Yuan Xiao Jie holds great significance in Chinese culture and is celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. It marks a time of renewal and unity among communities as they come together under shimmering skies filled with wishes and dreams.
