To mark the return of the Taiwan Lantern Festival to Taipei for the first
time in over two decades, 80,000 Year-of-the-Rabbit-themed lanterns are to be
made available to the public tomorrow.

The 2023 rabbit light can held like a traditional lantern, or reassembled
into a luminous rabbit ear ornament and worn as a hat.

The Taipei City government's Department of Civil Affairs says members of the
public would be able to place preorders for 10,500 of the free lanterns via
the festival's official website and TaipeiPASS app, starting from 10 AM
tomorrow.

The department added that 3,500 of the preordered lanterns would be made
available for collection on the first floor of Taipei City Hall, each day
between 3 PM and 6 PM, from February 4th through 6th.

Alternatively, members of the public can line up at designated locations in
each of Taipei's 12 districts on each of those days from 3 PM, to pick up
lanterns without preordering.
