Yuejingang Riverside Park (月津港親水公園)

In 2022, the Lantern Festival in Yanshui featured an impressive exhibition with more than 70 art teams and 83 art works, making it the largest exhibition in the town's history. To showcase the town's transformation and development during the past 10 years of the Lantern Festival, the city government introduced drones and unmanned boats for the first time on the floating platform in Yuejin Harbour Riverside Park on the opening day of the festival, which was January 22. This unique performance, combining land, sea, and air elements, marked the beginning of the festival of lights.

Special performances are also scheduled on the floating platform on February 5-6 and February 12-13. Various groups of sound and audio-visual artists will perform in the outdoor space of the warehouse group. The Xinchuang Lighting District will present experimental audio and video interactive live performances on two Saturdays, namely February 19th and 26th.

The Lantern Festival will run from January 22 to February 28, 2022. Lanterns can be found in several locations, including Yuejin Harbour (月津港親水公園), Xinchuang Light District (新創燈區), Lanes and alleys (巷弄街區), the railway station (火車站), and Yongcheng Theater (永成戲院).

Wu Temple (鹽水武廟) 

It was really crowded, streets and riverside park was full of people. Smaller roads was blocked by police officers from driving. Visiting Yanshui several times in the past, I've never seen so many people in there... We parked nearby entrance to the Riverside Park. It took us 2 hours to walk around, we didn't go to Qiaonan Old Street as it was full of people. Later on we drove to Wu Temple. 

In addition to the light environment of Yuejin Harbour, the Wu Temple (鹽水武廟) also has the largest sculpture of Guan Shengdijun in the country. In the back park, there is a 2022 sound and light art light exhibition symbolizing the theme of bee cannons to eliminate the plague. There are 3D double-sided paintings of Guan Gong on the surrounding walls.
