TAIPEI - The Taiwan Lantern Festival has been held in different cities across Taiwan since 2001, and both locals and tourists highly anticipate its return to Taipei—where it all began—after 23 years.

This festival is very important for the Taiwanese people as it symbolizes peace, hope, new beginnings, and blessings that have been celebrated for years. It is held on the 15th day of the first month in the lunar calendar and marks the end of Chinese New Year celebrations across Taiwan.

This year’s festivities are celebrated with a diverse range of activities, events, and a number of artworks and displays that will illuminate the city. It will also showcase a variety of traditional cultural performances and a plethora of delicious foods from the many vendors at the event.

The Taiwan Lantern Festival is a unique event that draws people from all over the world and the first Filipina Taiwan Tourism Ambassador, Gabbi Garcia, was one of them.

Whether you’re looking to indulge in some delicious street food, take part in traditional cultural activities, or simply enjoy the spectacle of the lanterns in the night sky, the Taiwan Lantern Festival is the perfect place to do so.

Join Gabbi Garcia on February 11, 2023 for the second leg of “Panahon sa Taiwan with Gabbi Garcia” at the Glorietta 2 Palm Drive Activity Center and take advantage of the promotional fares and package tours offered by different partner airlines and travel agencies.

On March 19, 2023, Gabbi Garcia will have her first fan activity at the Conference Hall of the National Taiwan Science Education Center in Taipei to meet her supporters and the Filipino community from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
