Notes from the last check
The 2026 Shilin Torch Festival ran (per a fetched Xinhua report of a county release) from August 5 to 9, 2026, which is already past as of 2026-10-17, so it is recorded as last_edition; no 2027 dates were found, so edition is tba. The official scenic-area site was fetched and confirmed, but it did not carry the festival dates. The series' 'July' season is out of date; the 2026 festival was in August.
