The local community preserves the natural landscape while continuing to pass down their traditional culture.

With the growth of the tourism industry, Dongshan Old River Port has gradually become one of the most popular travel destinations in Yilan, attracting visitors from around the world. In particular, Dongshan Old River Port Lantern Festival serves as a highlight, drawing large crowds to enjoy and participate. The thoughtful planning of the festival not only allows people to appreciate the exquisite lighting artistry, but also offers a deeper understanding of the area, further promoting the development of local tourism. From Dongshan Train Station Square to the Old River Trail, five main themed lantern zones are featured: “Blooming Hill,” “Dreamweaving of Light and Shadow,” “Rainbow Archway,” “The Splendid Kites,” and “Dreamy Train Travels through The Melon Shed.” In addition to these installations, decorative lighting pieces such as “Hearts Beat as One,” “Winding Butterflies Swing in Bloom,” and “Smiley Shadow” enhance the romantic atmosphere for visitors. In the planning of the 2025 Dongshan Old River Port Lantern Festival, the design team embraces the principles of health and environmental preservation, carefully selecting natural and sustainable materials to ensure each installation harmonizes with the surrounding nature. Beyond offering visual beauty, this design also incorporates interactive sensory experiences, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the environment.
