新竹燈會

       主燈 飛蛇





An estimated million domestic and international visitors are expected
to flood into northern Hsinchu County in the next two weeks
for the annual Taiwan Lantern Festival.

       預計 上百萬 國內外遊客

       將在 接下來的兩個星期

   湧入新竹 參加一年一度的台灣燈會。





Because this year is the Year of the Snake on the Chinese zodiac,
which is also called the “small dragon year,” the main lantern
features a 20m high flying aquatic dragon and weighs about
26 tonnes in total. The main lantern is accompanied by
four secondary lanterns, featuring the image of an elephant,
a mound of gold ingots, a phoenix and
a Chinese mythical hybrid creature called a Pixiu.

     因為今年是中國生肖屬相蛇的

      這也被稱為“龍年小年“

 主燈設有一個20米高的飛蛇，總重約26噸。

      由四個二級燈籠伴隨主燈，

   四個燈籠 是大象，金元寶，火鳳凰

      和中國神話中的 貔貅。




In the festival’s “green” energy section, the highlight is a lantern
called “Sustainable Ring”, presented by the Taipei-based Delta Electronics.
The lantern features a 270-degree projection screen that is 10m in height and
nearly 70m in width. The exterior of the lantern is decorated with LED lighting.

   在綠色能源部分，由台達電設計  "永續之環"。

     燈籠有 10米高 70米度 270度投影屏幕。

        外觀以 LED 照明的彩燈裝飾。

   






Because Hsinchu County is known for its bamboo, wind and glass,
the festival features a shining walking passage using all three elements.

        由於新竹的  竹，風和玻璃，

     藝術節 的步道 使用這三個要素組成。
