A bit of traditions hong kong photos lanterns sheung wan starfruitIt’s been a long time since the last lantern photo, TEN DAYS exactly! I think I’ve waited long enough. I went to Sheung Wan where there’s a half block of shops specializing in making laterns and other paper products; as you can see we have lanterns in the shapes of rabbit, starfruit, accordion and of course, fish.
Seeing this fish lantern reminds me of the fish series in late February and that was FUN, if you want to revisit or if you haven’t seen them the links are here: paper goldfish, fengshui fish, floral anglerfish, Victoria and the fish, new dish, dinner fish, and I ended the series with a post on cats…;-)
The fluffy white ones look like they have wheels.

Greetings from Perú
