Pingxi Sky Lantern Festival reaches its 18th year in 2016. This
year, themes will be more diverse than ever, displaying both
sky lantern cultural tradition and innovation. This year the main
lantern will be covered with numerous small and large thumb
prints that convey best wishes, symbolizing the desire of all
people to see their wishes come true. As well as being moved
by the sight of sky lanterns flying away, visitors can also visit
Shifen Waterfall Park and view the waterfall called “Taiwan’s
Niagara Falls” and enjoy the mountain scenery along the
Pingxi Branch Line.
Numerous auspicious totems can be found all
around Lin Family Mansion and Garden, reflecting
the desire of the Lin family in earlier times that
their descendants would achieve high office and
noble rank; they raised peacocks that represented
the phoenix and monkeys, hoping that their
descendants would all “feng hou”, (a homonym of
the word meaning to achieve noble rank in Chinese.)Using the monkey and
peach images of the Lin Family Mansion and Garden, a series of Chinese New
Year activities have been planned to celebrate the Year of the Monkey. Traditional
arts performers and craftsperson will also demonstrate their skill. Everyone is
invited to start the year with a visit to Lin Family Mansion and Garden.
Since 2008, Yingge Museum of ceramics has held
an annual Chinese zodiac ceramic art exhibition.
This year 120 works from elementary and middle
schools around Taiwan will be on display at
Artists’ Village. The monkey-themed works are all
simple in terms of technique but full of childlike
charm and youthful vigor, and give viewers a
feeling of innocence. Everyone is welcome to view these
works at the start of the Year of the Monkey and take away
good luck all year.
To welcome the Year of the Monkey, Shihsanhang
Museum of Archeology will hold a series of festival
activities on February 9th-14th. Through various
monkey-themed activities, wishes for the New
Year will be conveyed. We hoped that the happy
atmosphere will affect all visitors and give them a
good start to a perfect year.
