Great article as always! I really enjoyed the stories from your own childhood and curiosities you dug out on the background of the festival and some of the artists. (The prison story is very moving!)

Living in Xinyi, I enjoyed the lantern festival a lot and took many pictures whenever I strolled by. I posted some photos in this shorter photo essay (now also featuring a link to this piece): https://bensahlmueller.com/lantern-festival-2023-taipei/
