The Lantern Festival's "Dragon Bombing" (火旁龍) tradition, is unique to the Hakka people in Miaoli, in which dragon teams dance for fortune and glory under a maelstrom of fireworks, is one three largest Lantern Festivals in Taiwan.
The way is that the more explosive the dance and the more hits the dragon gets hit by fireworks, the more luck and prosperity there will be for those who come close.
