The “Taipei: Denglong Street” is currently being exhibited at the Festival of Light 2018 in Osaka. Over hundreds of red and white lanterns decorate the walkway inside Nakanoshima Park, recreating the ambiance of Taipei on foreign lands.
Senior Specialist Chiang Chun-hui of the Department of Information and Tourism and Bravo the Bear attended the opening ceremony of the Festival of Light on December 14 to promote both the Denglong Street and the upcoming 2019 Taipei International Lantern Festival to the local Japanese audience.
In addition to displaying the red-and-white dog lanterns in the outdoor area of Nakanoshima Park, a series of events has also been organized at the venue. An area has also been set aside for the public to rid well-wish cards and post them on the wall decorations. Bravo also took the opportunity to pass out “Bravo mango biscuits” to passerby to promote the taste of Taiwan.
According to the senior specialist, the theme “Taipei: Denglong Street” has been selected because “Denglong” has the meaning of achieving fame and becoming successful. She noted that Osaka has taken part in the 2017 Taipei Lantern Festival to show its support for the friendship between the two cities. She also took the opportunity to invite the Japanese public to visit the 2019 Taipei Lantern Festival which will take place between February 16 and 24.
This year marks the sixth year of the Festival of Light, which involves various illumination and lantern exhibits across Osaka. The event celebrates both Christmas and the upcoming New Year, and is considered to be a must-visit event in Kansai region during the winter. The light show takes place from December 14 through 25.
