LEDs

Taiwan is the number one(#1) producer of LED(Light Emitting Diodes) in the world. That's a pretty impressive distinction for such a small country. I had thought the LED displays around Christmas and Western New Years was impressive but they  got even more elaborate for Chinese New Years. Most of the time the LEDs come in strings light Christmas tree lights but being smaller and more uniform they can be shaped around large objects, like trees!

And the "rain lights" can be added to give the display movement.

Sometimes the strings can be combines to produce mixed colors.

And being on strings they can be shaped into writing and symbols.

And there are always lots of people with cameras who are willing to help you compose a picture.

Happy Valentine's Day!
