十分天燈（Shifen Sky Lanterns）

中文介紹

十分位於新北市平溪區，是台灣最著名的放天燈地點。天燈（孔明燈）源自三國時代諸葛亮的軍事通訊工具，後來演變為民間祈福活動。每年元宵節的平溪天燈節更是國際級盛事。

十分老街最大特色是火車鐵軌穿過街道中央，遊客在鐵軌旁的店家選購天燈，寫上心願後在鐵軌上施放，是非常獨特的體驗。天燈有不同顏色代表不同祝福：紅色（健康）、黃色（財運）、藍色（事業）、粉紅色（愛情）。

English Introduction

Shifen, in Pingxi District, is Taiwan’s most famous spot for releasing sky lanterns. Sky lanterns (Kongming Lanterns) originated as military communication tools during the Three Kingdoms era and evolved into a folk tradition of sending wishes to heaven. The annual Pingxi Sky Lantern Festival during the Lantern Festival is an internationally renowned event.

Shifen Old Street’s unique feature is the train tracks running through the middle of the street. Visitors purchase lanterns from shops along the tracks, write their wishes, and release them from the railway — a truly one-of-a-kind experience. Different colors represent different blessings: red (health), yellow (wealth), blue (career), pink (love).
