The Pudu Lantern Parade at Zhongli's Renhai Temple lights up the night, creating a magnificent river of stars. Each lantern carries a prayer and a memory, reflecting both the solemnity of Taiwanese faith and the warmth of a community united. These images capture more than just a beautiful ritual; they showcase the enduring spirit of a vibrant tradition thriving against the backdrop of a modern urban landscape.
