The much-anticipated 2017 Pingtung Lantern Festival launched an extraordinary lantern event. In addition to using the riverside scenery of the Wannian River for public art light displays, the surrounding landscape introduced LED rose seas that had created a buzz in Korea. Up close, the blue light sea reveals roses, delighting visitors who enjoy taking photos. During the day, it transforms into a white flower sea with a LOVE sign in the background, which also glows at night, aligning perfectly with the photo-friendly highlights loved by today’s travelers and widely shared on social media.
