Sky Lantern DIY

The sky lantern was invented by Chancellor Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period, originally used to exchange information between military troops, but later became a vessel used to seek divine blessing after it was introduced to Pingsi Township in Taiwan during Emperor Daoguang’s rein in the Qing Dynasty. It’s said that if one writes one’s wishes on the lantern and sends it airborne into the sky, then the wish will come true!

At the Shangrila Leisure Farm, our expert instructors will teach you the skills of making a sky lantern, and can assure that the lantern carrying your wishes will successfully rise into the air! 

 Workshop and production time is about 40 minutes

Sweet Riceballs DIY

In ancient times this celebration was a reminder that celebrators are now a year older and should behave better in the coming year and a symbol of family togetherness, as the riceballs represent joy and ancestral blessings all-around.
