Happy Lantern Festival
祝大家元宵節快樂!!!
今天是羊年的元宵節,全台活動滿滿,
離嘉義最近的莫過於鹽水蜂炮"Beehive Firecrackers"了,
well,這是個危險的活動,但是又充滿刺激,
所以出發前記得準備好安全帽helmet(最好是全罩的而且用浴巾把它黏在安全帽下才不會讓蜂炮跔進去安全帽內)、面罩(mask)、雨衣(raincoat)和雨鞋(plastic boots),
準備好了就加入狂歡吧!
It is believed that bad luck would go away after one is bombed with beehive firecrackers.
大家相信被蜂炮轟炸可以去霉運。
另外平溪天燈也是全球知名的活動之一
PingXi sky lanterns
今天早上也在Economic經濟人網站發現台灣平溪的天燈,好漂亮好感動~~
台北太遠了,那離嘉義算近的台中也被選為今年的燈會地點,活動時間至3月15日。
2015 Lantern Festival in Taichung
http://taiwan.net.tw/2015taiwanlantern/EN/
The Lantern Festival is traditionally celebrated on the 15th day of the first lunar month. Temples big and small throughout Taiwan are festooned with lanterns and hold festive activities for the occasion. The 2015 Taiwan Lantern Festival will be held in Taichung City. The main theme lantern area will be placed at Wuri High Speed Rail Special Zone: a 20-hectare venue in Taichung City spacious enough to accommodate visitors from across Taiwan and the world. The main theme lantern from the Year of the Ram festival in 2003 (still fully preserved at Taichung Park) will be displayed in tandem with the 2014 lantern, making Taichung the first city to host the festival for the same Chinese zodiac animal twice. Everyone is welcome to enjoy the lanterns and fun in Taichung.
