From New Year's Day to the Lantern Festival in 2025, Huwei Township in Yunlin County, Taiwan, will host an extraordinary lighting festival that seamlessly fuses traditional culture, local landscapes, and modern technology. This unique celebration transforms light into an immersive art form, where digital creativity and lighting design converge to craft an unforgettable visual experience. Leveraging advanced digital technology, we reimagine the essence of Lunar New Year through dynamic, innovative lighting displays. The interplay of tradition and modernity, past and future, is meticulously woven into every illuminated scene, enhancing the town’s ambiance while elevating Yunlin’s cultural and tourism appeal. Every visitor will step into an ethereal world, where light breathes life into history and imagination.



Addressing the common challenges of urban lighting exhibitions, we have incorporated cutting-edge modeling techniques and precision engineering to seamlessly integrate lighting artistry into every display area. These innovations not only refine the spatial composition and sculptural elegance of the installations but also transform Huwei’s iconic landmarks with a fresh visual narrative. Here, light is more than illumination—it is a medium of emotion and storytelling, guiding visitors through a dreamlike interplay of shadows and brilliance. This festival is not just an exhibition of lights; it is an artistic milestone, redefining the town’s cultural identity and establishing a new benchmark for creative lighting design.



Each installation is meticulously crafted as a standalone piece of art, merging ancient folklore with contemporary lighting techniques to illuminate the night in spectacular fashion. This event is more than a dazzling light show—it is a tribute to the town’s deep cultural heritage. Every glow, every beam is an homage to history, nature, and the infinite possibilities of the future. As visitors walk through the radiant landscapes, they will not only witness a celebration of light but also embark on a journey through time, embracing the past while envisioning what lies ahead.
