Tainan's Beehive Rocket Festival, one of the country's biggest Lantern Festival events, kicked off yesterday. The festival is originated from the traditional practice, in which people explode firecrackers while touring the gods around the area on divine palanquins to expel plague and disasters. Here on CTS, let's take you to join this deep-rooted event.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the Yenshui beehive firecrackers were set off officially, this served as a warm-up event to the upcoming Beehive Rockets festival.

Techno San Tai-zi were dancing to make the event even more fun.

More than 20 some sacred sedans will be on a two-day-two-night pilgrimage.

The organizer has a special steel shield to protect the sacred sedans since the power of the beehive firecrackers should not be underestimated.

A 360-degree rotating cannon fortress is designed this year so people from every angle would be immersed in the excitement.

More than 3 million firecrackers are prepared to give observers an unforgettable night on the Lantern Festival.
