If Taiwan has been on your travel "to do" list then next week might be a good opportunity.
The 2026 Taiwan Lantern Festival will be held in Chiayi County from March 3 to 15.
Diverse offerings include the chance to stand beneath a 21-metre tower of glowing light while drones paint the night sky, fireworks burst overhead, and the sounds of Irish tap dancers fill the air.
Taiwan Lantern Festival is one of Asia's most beloved annual celebrations - marking the end of the Lunar New Year .
Each year it rotates to a different city and this year's theme is "Glow with Taiwan, Light Up Chiayi".
The festival has 12 official "must-see" attractions. The centrepiece is "Glow of Alishan", a towering 21-metre main lantern synchronized to a full sound and light show.
International artists include France's Cavalcade of White Horses and high-energy Irish tap dancers, along with the Taiwanese Paper Windmill Theatre, and the Ming Hwa Yuan Arts & Cultural Group.
Chiayi is accessible by high-speed rail with the Chiayi HSR Station connected to Taipei in under 90 minutes.
