The 2013 Taipei Lantern Festival took place in the Yuanshan and Fine Arts park areas of the Taipei Expo Park. To get here, one can take the MRT and alight at Yuanshan Station. The festival ran from Feb 21 - Mar 3.
They have different kinds of lanterns on display here. It would have been nice if I went here when it's already dark and the lantern lights are already on. But I'm not sure if I could still go back to this area, might as well explore this now.
The area can't be missed as one can see it from the MRT. You can see the area as you step out of the station.
