Lanterns

Lanterns must come from the Chinese influence, I saw two types of lanterns in Hoi An; decorative hanging and floating lanterns.

Lanterns decorate the modern bridge across the Thu Bon river, and many places in town.

There are numerous shops making and selling lanterns.

Every evening as the sun sets several floating lantern sellers congregate next to the river. You can purchase a lantern and set afloat downstream. Unfortunately there were never enough floating down stream to make a photo.
