Hundreds of fishing boats crowd into the Wai-an harbor, and at the prearranged moment (selected for its auspiciousness), all their fishing lights-bulbs of over 1000 watts each-light up at once, turning the nighttime sky over Wai-an into a sheet of bright white. This maritime Lantern Festival is something that you could never experience on the main island of Taiwan.
數百艘漁船齊聚外垵漁港，吉時一到，剎時漁火通明，盞盞上千瓦燭光的捕魚燈，將外垵的夜空照得猶如白晝一般，這可是台灣本島看不到的海上燈會。
