At sundown during the Spirit
Festival, also known as the Water Lantern Festival,
Chinese people set
lotus-shaped lanterns adrift on the water,
similar to the Thai festival of
Loi Krathong (fig.).
This is done in a stream, river or canal, as seen
here in the picturesque village of Wuzhen (fig.),
yet here it was done during the festival of
Qing Ming.
