※ This experience includes 1 lucky lantern and 1 mountain city blessing card.
｜Stroll through the historical mountain city with a lantern in hand, praying for good luck throughout the year!
The red lantern is a unique symbol of Jiufen, hanging high in the stone-paved alleys throughout the area. Originating from the early days of gold mining when there were no streetlights, every household would hang lanterns at night to guide people home, symbolizing safety, reunion, and the brightness of hope. This traditional culture has persisted, with the red lanterns transforming into symbols of blessings. People carry lanterns, praying for good luck throughout the year!
｜Wishing Lanterns
There are four types of wishing lanterns, each representing different fortunes: pink for love, yellow for wealth, orange for peace, and blue for career.
Choose your preferred lantern and personally take it to the incense burner in front of the Jiufen Gold Ecological Park's wishing lantern area to perform the blessing ritual (walk clockwise around the incense burner three times). After being blessed by the local deities, take it back home, symbolizing carrying good luck with you!
｜Mountain City Blessing Card
Blessing Experience: Comes with a blessing card and a red string. After writing down your wish, you can bring it to the blessing area to pass it through the incense burner with the lanterns. Then, hang it on the blessing wall for the deity to help fulfill your wish!
｜Lantern Blessing Area
The blessing area is located in front of the Jiufen Gold Ecological Park along Jiufen Old Street. It's about a 5-minute walk from the exchange counter. After completing the blessing ritual, don't forget to take photos to commemorate the experience. Record this special blessing experience and share it with your family.
