This past weekend, Zhan Laoshi (Dante's awesome Chinese professor) drove Dante, Parker and I to Miaoli, a small city on the northwest side of the island. Miaoli was hosting its own Lantern Festival which apparently made the Guinness Book of World Records for having the most lanterns in one place. While I'm pretty sure no festival will ever compare, at least in terms of magical mystery, to the PingXi Lantern Festival we went to last week, this one was cool in it's own way. Granted, we went during the day time when none of the lanterns were lit up
The majority of the lanterns were hand-made by students from Miaoli. Highlights included:
Totoro Lantern
Cranes
Dueling dragons
Dante's uncanny likeness to the spider lantern
As well as double-jointed flying horse #1
And magical flying horse #2
