Incorporating the latest technological innovations, an "interactive corridor" alongside the theme lantern gives visitors an opportunity to do more than just watch.

Images of Taipei's major landmarks are projected on a screen, where attendees can create floating leafs or fireworks, with just a wave of the hand.

More than 40 large beacons are also on display, most made by student groups and artists from across the city.

The lamps will be on display for 11 days, until February 20th.
