臺北燈會

[acupofcoffee-asia]

Around one year ago, I was here celebrating 元宵节 yuánxiāojié (Lantern Festival), between Taipei and 九份 (Jiufen - the picturesque mountain old town). 🏮✨

Jiufen, with its fairytale-like atmosphere, transports you to the past, with vivid colors and vibrant sounds, always crowded with people and surrounded by the lush green of the mountains and trees, emerging majestically through the mist and rain.

Taipei, modern yet steeped in history, blends the past and present with its vibrant nightlife, dynamic artistic scene, circus performances, international clubs, and bustling night markets offering everything from traditional dishes to the latest vegan options.

Every corner tells a story of a rich history, from ancient temples to lively streets filled with life. 🎇✨

The Lantern Festival (元宵节, Yuánxiāo Jié) is a Chinese tradition that marks the end of the Lunar New Year celebrations. Among its many customs, people eat tangyuan (汤圆), sticky rice balls filled with sweet fillings, symbolizing family unity and completeness. The festival celebrates the full moon's light, embodying themes of reunion and harmony.

Instead of the typical tangyuan (汤圆), I had this traditional Taiwanese dessert called taro ball with brown sugar ice (招牌芋圓冰 zhāopaiyùyuánbīng). The tradition of eating tangyuan during this festival comes from the dish’s name itself: 汤圆 (tāngyuán) sounds similar to 团圆 (tuányuán), meaning 'reunion' or 'being together,' symbolizing family unity. Additionally, their round shape (圆, literally meaning 'round') represents completeness and perfection, much like the full moon, which during the Lantern Festival symbolizes reunion and harmony. 🏮🎇✨🌕

Lantern Festival In Taiwan

The celebrations of Chinese New Year held over quite a time in Taiwan. One of the highlight is the famous Lantern festival in the Pingxi area outside of Taipei. To get there was already an adventure, since the trains were already fully packed all day long. Once there, the crowd is blocking the ways, even the railways, of the tiny village. People are busy everywhere to buy lanterns and write on…

“An Unforgettable Christmas in Taipei”

Traveling to Taipei, Taiwan, for Christmas 2018 was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. The trip was filled with heartwarming moments and incredible discoveries.

We began our exploration of the city by touring Taiwan's magnificent temples, where the air was fragrant with the scent of incense. Hearing so much about Taiwan's famous bubble tea, we couldn't wait to try it firsthand. We found a small, tucked-away shop in a lively neighborhood that served rich, creamy milk tea with chewy tapioca pearls – a flavor unlike anything we'd tasted before. Sipping that perfect tea while strolling through the decorated streets, surrounded by holiday cheer, was magical.

Street vendors offered seasonal treats that combined Taiwanese specialties with festive flavors. We also visited the famous lantern spot , where colorful lanterns filled the night sky as people made wishes. After that, we made our way to Taipei 101, the iconic skyscraper that stands as a symbol of the city. From the observation deck, we looked out over Taipei’s lights and holiday decorations, feeling the magic of the season from high above.

Later, we returned to our Airbnb to celebrate Christmas Eve with a cozy, simple meal, sharing stories and laughter with cousin and family. Christmas in Taiwan was truly an unforgettable experience.

Just came back from a trip! and it was short but fun! Taiwan has been one of my fave countries - aside from legit milk teas - the people and everything is just so good!

I went there for 2 things - 1 is the Sky Lantern Festival - it was raining though! but the show still pushed, so wasn't able to go near the area but it was still magical - like a real life Rapunzel moment

2 is the cherry blossoms - I haven't been to JP, having a PH passport getting a JP visa is damn hard - so TW Cherry Blossoms is the closest to tick off my bucket list and it was soooo good to see! I cried!!

Sharing here the cherry blossoms + Taipei 101 snap I got!

I REALLY WANT TO GO BACK NOW! 😭😭😭
