The traditional Chinese Mid-autumn festival is around the corner, and the lantern wrought in various shapes plays a very significant role of this festival. In Hong Kong, people choose different kinds of lanterns, preparing for the coming Mid-autumn lantern carnival. The lanterns are in the shapes of goldfish, peaches, pumpkins, butterflies, lucky stars as well as funny cartoons and so on, adding highlight to the festival season. No matter the ancient paper Lanterns or the plastic electric lanterns, they are both traditional and innovative. The salesperson told me, the battery –powered toy lanterns were very popular among the customers.

I went to the lantern market at Sai Ying Pun, and took a lot of pictures in the jubilant atmosphere. At last, I selected several of them including wide-shot, mid-short and feature close-up in order to report this folk and artistic heritage. This magnificent cultural heritage symbolizing best wishes and happiness comes to life with us, which will absolutely decorate the picturesque Mid-autumn night.
