Despite sawing from the news that it was crowded like a sardine can, I still wanted to join the crowd to the Taichung Lantern Festival at Wen-Xin Forest Park to spend my last night in Taichung before school started. It was wise for us to take a cab there because the traffic nearby was pratically dead, and it was impossible to find a parking space. In fact, even by cab, the driver had to drop us across the street and asked us to walk to the park, so you can imagine how many people there were 'outside' the park, not to mention inside the park. 
We actually had to wait in line to take a quick photo with Mickey's pet dog Pluto. Just so you know, it was not a lantern, only a cardboard.
It was our first time to visit the park which was opened in 2006, and I was amazed by the hugh outdoor stadium that can store 4,000 people. The major lantern was placed at the center of the stadium, with water-dance show performed every half hour. The park is rather large, and beautiful, so if it were not for the distance from our house to it, I would definitely love to visit it again in the daytime.
