You Can Score A Free Trip To Taipei So You Can See The Mega ’Grammable Lantern Festival

I’m definitely not opposed to a bit of free adventure, even if I don’t know much (if anything) about the destination. And that’s the situation that I reckon a lot of you are in right now, checking out an article about jetting off to Taipei with a cheeky freebie.

How familiar are you with Taipei, friend? Maybe I’m being presumptive and you’re a veritable expert on the city. I could be wrong — it’s happened once, in the summer of 1997 when I was but three years old.

In any case, Taipei is actually a really cool place to travel to, especially if you do so in February. Why? Because they have a lil’ thing called the Pingxi Lantern Festival, which involves casting a bunch of lanterns into the night sky — and let me tell you, it’s a damn sight to behold.

It’s an annual tradition, where people come from far and wide to write their wishes on the lanterns, and as they cast them into the sky, hope that their ancestors will grant them. My wish? To go to Taipei and see the lanterns. Yours could be the same wish, I won’t even fight you for it.

So it’s pretty bloody great that AirAsia is offering you the chance to score yourself free flights and accommodation to pop on over for four nights and check it out with a mate. You could even take the love of your life and have a cute little Tangled moment — I support you, and encourage all Disney singalongs at any moment. Raise your voice and your lantern, friend.

All you’ve gotta do is pop in your details below and tell us what you’d wish for at the lantern festival to go in the running. It’s super-duper simple, so really, you have no reason not to enter.

Aside from the lantern festival, Taipei has a lot of really cool stuff going on, and it’s pretty damn beautiful on top of that. But I don’t need to convince you — it’s a free holiday, all thanks to AirAsia, so if you’re not already on board then I will eat my hat.

After all, it’s a free trip, and that’s nothing to sneeze at.
