Tainan Set to Host the 2024 Taiwan Lantern Festival

 


TAIWAN - In the coming year, 2024, Tainan City is all set to host the Taiwan Lantern Festival. The spots to check out these glowing lanterns are smartly placed in the historic Anping District and around the Tainan High-Speed Railway Station.

This bright celebration is a part of Tainan's 400th-anniversary bash. Mayor Huang Wei-che of Tainan is thinking ahead about traffic and crowd management, expecting a huge crowd of around 400,000 on a single day, according to UDN.

The area around the high-speed railway station covers a big 28 hectares, offering three main spots to view the stunning lantern displays. In Anping, the other location, there's a 22-hectare spread, including Lin Mo Niang Park, Anping Pier, and the 1661 Taiwan Warship Museum.

Tainan City’s Bureau of Transportation assures everyone that they've got the details sorted. They've arranged for shuttle buses leaving the nearby high-speed railway station every 5 to 10 minutes. And to make things easier, there's a 26-hectare parking lot right at the railway station.

For those heading to Anping, it's recommended to use public transport. There are temporary parking spots set up in nearby areas with shuttle buses to get you there. The Ministry of Transportation and Communication is reviewing a more detailed transportation plan to make sure everything runs smoothly for the big celebration.
