2014月津港燈節 / 2014 Yuejin Lantern Festival


從2012年起
台南市的燈會就選在鹽水的月津港舉辦
沒有喧囂的的煙火 鞭炮
取而代之的是沈靜的氣氛
夜色裡的 水 月 燈
伴隨著輕音樂
緩緩帶出這個小鎮的迷人風采

Since 2012,
Tainan City Government has chosen
the Yuejin Harbour in Yenshui to be the place
to held its Lantern Festival.
Without noisy firecrackers and fireworks,
the calm atmosphere takes the place.
Under the dim light of night,
with the soft music,
the water, moon, lights,
slowly bring out the charms of the small town.

月津,是鹽水的舊名
這個因“蜂炮”而知名的小鎮
曾經是農產品的集散地
早年商業往來川流不息
也因此留下許多低調而華麗的建築物
處處可見舊時的風華

Yuejin, is the former name of Yenshui.
The town which is known for its "Beehive fireworks",
was a commercial center of agricultural products.
Many deliveries and payments were done here,
therefore, there are many low-key but gorgeous architectures.
You can see the elegance of the old times all around.


附近的永成戲院
是二戰後鹽水的三家戲院之一
現在修復為多功能藝文中心
現在搭配著月津港燈節的活動
可以在挑高的木屋頂底下
坐在舒適的木椅子上看電影

The Yongcheng Theatre naerby
is one of the 3 theatres built after the WWII.
It's now reformed as a multi-cultural & artistic center.
Now because of the Yuejin Lantern Festival,
people can sit on the cozy wooden benches
underneath the wooden roof,
enjoy watching movies.
