Spring in Taiwan: What to expect during Taiwan Lantern Festival?

Before you decide to pack your bag and head to Taichung to attend Taiwan 2015 Lantern Festival, you may want to know what to expect at the festival. I went to attend one for the year 2013 which happened to be held in Taipei. But since we were lazy to brave the chill spring wind at night, we decided to pop by in the morning instead. The lanterns were of course, not lit up but they are already looking good.
