How to use this list
Start with the festival location and schedule saved offline, EasyCard or contactless payment card, cash in New Taiwan dollars, hotel address, and photo ID. Use the small zippered crossbody bag for those essentials, plus your phone, charging cable, portable battery pack, hand sanitizer, and tissues. Wear the long-sleeve top, light sweater, comfortable trousers, and walking shoes.

Common mistakes
Do not depend on a live map when crowds or low battery slow things down; save the festival details and hotel address offline. Skip a large shoulder bag that gets in the way in busy viewing areas. A camera without a spare camera battery may not last through the displays, so check both before leaving.
