The Lantern Festival is a beautiful holiday in Taiwan. It happens 15 days after Chinese New Year. On this night, the moon is full and bright. People light up lanterns everywhere.

Lanterns are lights made of paper or other things. They come in many shapes and colors. Some look like animals. Some look like cartoon characters. The lanterns glow in the dark.

One tradition is to write wishes on lanterns. Then people let the lanterns fly up into the sky. This is called a sky lantern. It is very magical to watch hundreds of lanterns float up.
