In celebrating the lantern festival, over 10,000 people joined the Pingxi Lantern Festival event on Thursday, sending sky lanterns that bear their wishes into the night sky. Now follow our camera on CTS to enjoy the spectacularly beautiful sight.

Many people have new wishes for the New Year, especially those visiting PingXi of New Taipei City's ShiFen Sky Lantern plaza, waiting to release the lanterns.

Everyone faithfully wrote down their wishes on the sky lantern, including the hope of finding a handsome and gentle boyfriend, some wrote down the wish to receive an iPhone. On the other hand, some lanterns burst into flames even before hitting the sky.

But no matter what, when all the lanterns are released, it is a breath-taking scene.

New Taipei city mayor Eric Chu also wrote auspicious words on the lantern and released it with everyone while many took pictures of the scene at this years sky lantern festival of PingXi of New Taipei City.
