Description of Our Community: Taiwan is an island located southeast of Mainland China on the western edge of the Pacific Rim. Its history, politics, society, economy and culture are all affected by its geographical features and position. The interesting part of Taiwan folk culture is the production of people and the land.

Project Description: Lanterns are traditional folk art in Taiwan. A long time ago, lanterns were a practical tool used in daily life. Today, they are a symbol of expert handcraft. The handcraft of lanterns is handed down from generation to generation by lantern experts. In addition to collecting the legends and customs about Lantern Festival, we also want to visit these lantern experts who work so hard for Taiwan Lantern Festival and record their working process. We also enjoyed the riddles and poerty about lanterns, which enlightened our minds. Let's come and see the classic, modern fashion and the colorful laser beams by the experts in the annual festivity. Lantern festival is nothing short of magical. Like moths drawn to the flame, resistance to its spell is futile.
