History

In 1990, Taipei’s tourism bureau consolidated resources for a major event to celebrate Lantern Festival in order to promote folk traditions. It soon became one of the most important annual festivals in Taiwan. At first, celebrations were held in Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Park in Taipei. But in 2001, various cities were assigned to play host for the festivities as well.

Traditions

During the day, families pray for good luck at temples. Houses are decorated with lanterns of varying shapes such as historical figures, saints, or gods. The main ones, about ten metres tall, are built to represent the zodiac signs based on Chinese astrology wherein the current year’s animal symbol (dragon for 2012) is the most famous theme.

On the night of the Lantern Festival, lanterns are carried by children out on the streets and are used to decorate both temples and the town square. Traditional paper lanterns are adorned with candles. But thanks to modern technology, laser-powered lanterns can have a full range of movements with sound effects.

To add even more excitement to this event, different contests are staged all over the city. There are lantern-making competitions where awe-inspiring works of art are created for judging. It is also part of tradition to hold lantern riddle parties throughout the night.

Aside from the lanterns, celebrants also serve tang yuan – sticky glutinous balls made of rice flour. These can be filled with peanut butter, red bean or sesame paste. Customarily, these are prepared with sugar but others choose to make the balls a little bit salty. Eating tang yuan is believed to help tighten family bonds and foster smooth relationships.

2012 Festival

The preparations for the 2012 Taiwan Lantern Festival commenced in Changhua Country this past January 29. It will be held until February 19 in three major venues in Lukang, a city known for its temple culture. It is expected to draw about 5 million visitors.

Where to stay: City Lake Hotel Taipei

With a main theme of “Soaring Dragon in Radiant Skies,” the festival’s design will be based on customs and culture merged with technology and art to depict Taiwan’s growth into its centenary during the festival. The main lantern is a beautiful landscape piece which transforms into a fiery dragon by night.

Fukuoka

The premier city on the island of Kyushu has upward of 1.5 million people and major cultural allure. Fukuoka, too, is old, even for Japan, and unfurls a treasure trove of first-rate heritage eye candy as such. The dynamic ward of Hakata is a hot spot flush with manifest gastronomic potential. Vital festivals like Dontaku Minato Matsuri and Gion Yamakasa take place in Hakata as well.

Nagasaki

Few link Nagasaki with events other than the atomic bomb attack of WWII but the Kyushu prefecture capital has come far since 1945. As a polestar of Euro commerce and trade from the early 16th century to late 19th century, the city has a very different vibe for Japan. To wit, Nagasaki’s church and Christian monuments await formal UNESCO World Heritage status sometime in the next year or so.

What to include on the itinerary: National Peace Memorial Hall for the Atomic Bomb Victims, Urakami Cathedral, Koshibyo Shrine, Kofukuji Temple

Kumamoto

Tidy Kumamoto is home to just under a quarter of a million people but has the look and feel of a more modest metropolis. Kumamoto Castle, one of the most vital cultural assets in Japan, is the indubitable magnet for domestic and international visitors alike. The city has some modern lures as well, however, from a lively student-centric nightlife to abundant parks and gardens.

Okinawa

See what made Mr. Miyagi so nostalgic in The Karate Kid. 80s pop culture references aside, Okinawa is a gem with a major growth industry in beach holiday tourism. Culture, however, is what makes us jones for the island in the East China Sea. Naha, the island and prefecture capital, is a coastal city of 315,000 people and superb gateway to it all. Okinawa Island is also the portal to the rest of the prefecture, all 1,000 km of the Ryukyu (Nansei or Southwest) archipelago, from Kyushu to Taiwan. Explore Okinawa but try to include one or two of the Southwest Islands for good measure.

From the inevitable pull of Patpong Market (think haggling and cheap knock offs) to the pricier and more brand focused Siam Square, the shopping options here can keep you occupied for days. And while those ritzy rooftop bars have their Mecca-like haze, you can get your drinks cheaper and stronger on the ground. Wong’s Place bucks trends in every way with an indoor smoking area and an honesty bar where you hand over cash and help yourself to the beer fridge. Cheap Charlie’s may make you sit on the street, but the extremely cheap drinks make it all OK.

Keep pounding the Bangkok pavement and you’ll find food, drinks and all manner of things that you won’t find on the 64th level of that high rise monstrosity.

But it’s the Coloane Village where the old Macau really lives on. Pokey back streets, ruins transporting you to Lisbon and colonial splendour all underpinned by that ubiquitous fusion cuisine this place is so famous for. Dietary guilt can be purged with a stroll along the black sands of Hac Sa Beach.

Lion dances, parades, and fireworks welcome the Chinese New Year in Malaysia. Red papers with Chinese inscriptions on prosperity are pasted in front of houses for good luck. During family dinners, red packets with money are given to the kids and the elderly. All of this, of course, is very typical stuff and not unique at all to Malaysia. What is not typical, of course, is the party atmosphere in central KL.

4. Asia Hotel, Bangkok, Thailand

At first glance, it is easy to write off the Asia Hotel in Bangkok as spooky. The corridors are dimly lit and rooms quite old and musty. Lights flicker on and off in the dead of night.

Ghost stories about the Grand Hyatt Taipei are rooted in the hotel’s dark history. Apparently the hotel was built on a World War II prison camp where hundreds of people were incarcerated and eventually put to death. Guests of the hotel have allegedly seen ghosts in the corridors while others have heard strange noises from unoccupied rooms. Paranormal activities and rumors regarding the hotel have so negatively affected the business that management decided to consult Feng Shui experts. Chinese calligraphy and scrolls have since been installed in strategic places within the hotel in the hopes of warding off restless spirits.
