Thanks for visiting ThaHoliday, and I’m glad that you find the information here useful. The term “Lantern Festival” is sometimes used by other countries like Singapore and Malaysia for the Mid-Autumn Festival because of how they celebrate it, but it is different with the Lantern Festival celebrated in China and Taiwan during the 15th day of the first month on the Chinese Lunar calendar. I understand how the article could have caused the confusion and I’ve made some changes. I hope that helps clarify things. ]]> By: Jerry Wang http://thaholiday.com/taiwans-public-holidays-schedule-2013/#comment-7380 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 06:58:06 +0000 http://thaholiday.com/?p=5030#comment-7380 The Lantern Festival is not the Moon Festival. It is on Jan 15 in the Lunar Calendar, the first appearing day of waxing moon after the Chinese New Year. :)
