On the first full moon of the Lunar New Year, today’s Doodle celebrates the Taiwan Lantern Festival 2020. Festivities steeped in local traditions illuminate Taiwan as people shine a light on their wishes for good luck and prosperity in the new year.
In 1990, Taiwan incorporated millennia-old Lantern Festival traditions with the native Pingxi Sky Lantern and Yanshui Fireworks Festivals, creating one of the most popular events in the nation. The annual customs are characterized by fireworks in the south and sky lanterns in the north.
Throughout the capital of Taipei, festival-goers can expect to see beautiful lanterns of all sizes, from small ones for children to a towering paper structure at the heart of the celebrations.
元宵節快樂!
