architecture at the Lantern Festival

Photohunters




The two weeks that follow Chinese New Year are to celebrate the "Lantern Festival."



Along Love River in downtown Kaohsiung homemade lanterns are on display. 



Most of the lanterns, made by shool children, were either pigs (remember it's year of the pig) or about the 2009 World Games to be held here in Kaohsiung, but a few of the lanterns on display were famous buildings in Taiwan.



Here is a pig with the 85-story building in Kaohsiung (Yes, it does appear to be that the building and the pig are in a bathtub.  I have no idea why).

Here is a Taipei 101 lantern.  Taipei 101 is the world's tallest building.

  5. That looks like fun! It's hard to believe that there is a building that tall: 101 stories? Scary!
