Romantic Hoi An lanterns in pictures

Hoi An lanterns are varied in colors, materials and designs. Silk lanterns that can be folded are very popular with visitors as souvenirs. Walking around the old town, visitors will easily see kiosks with hanging lanterns. Making lanterns at a lantern shop. Do not hesitate to step in and talk with the artisan; you may be lucky and get a free demonstration on how to make lanterns. At night, Hoi An is even more subtle in soothing warm colors from lanterns shining throughout the ancient town. The old town often prohibits traffic from 18h daily. You can walk slowly to enjoy the evening in Hoi An. When your legs are tired, step down into a wooden boat, where there is a guitar melody, ask for a cold beer, and listen to the music. If you prefer an exciting atmosphere, you can immerse yourself in the music of the bar across the river. On the fifteenth day of each lunar month, Hoi An becomes splendid with the lantern releasing festival. All restaurants in the old town are lit by lanterns. People flock to the banks of the Hoai River, gently drop lanterns into the river and wish for good things. More interestingly, you can rent a small boat to sail on the river, drop lanterns and watch the flickering lanterns on the river. The quietness,  serenity, and warmth spreads. Apparently, the lanterns are not only decorative items but part of the soul of the old town.

Images: Hard-working scrap collectors in Saigon’s new urban area

The Thu Thiem new urban area project in District 2 is under site clearance and construction. At this large construction site, many houses have been dismantled while construction machines and dumpsters work busily, leaving iron and steel scraps, which are collected by the workers. They come from the southwestern province, Binh Duong, and also Ho Chi Minh City, carrying a tools such as metal detectors, hammers, spades, hoes, saws and others. To find the iron, metal detectors are indispensable. They smash concrete columns to take iron or steel core inside. Their job is no different than that of stonecutters or miners. Many big and long chunks of concrete and beams are deep underground. They have to dig them out and saw them into small pieces and take them to the surface. A worker with a metal detector on one hand and a hoe in the other hand. When the metal detector sounds, there is a big iron piece underneath. They take hours to dig large holes, sometimes up to 2 m deep. Taking pieces of iron of several dozens of kilos off the ground is not easy. After more than one hour digging a hole on the Saigon River’s bank (of the Thu Thiem new urban area), Nguyen Van Linh (60 years old, from An Khanh Ward, District 2) collects tens of kilos of scrap. In addition to metal pieces, they also find weapons. In the picture: An M16 rifle belt found on the bank of the Saigon River. Under intense sunlight, after one hour of digging a hole of nearly 1 m deep, over 3 m wide, Mr. Dinh Xuan Hai (48 years old, from Binh Duong province) is able to remove the metal piece. Pieces of iron and old cables weighing hundreds of kilos to those that are as small as a finger are collected and sold. The price is VND4,000/kg. “I can earn VND200,000-VND300,000 ($10-15) on average. On lucky days I have million dong or tens of thousands of dong on bad days,” Linh said. The man in the photo is Hai. Every day, from early morning he drives a motorbike for about 40 kilometers to the Thu Thiem urban area to work. After a day of digging, he sells iron scraps to scrap traders and returns to his home in Binh Duong province. He has pursued this hard job for nearly 20 years. Scrap collectors work under the scorching sun. Nguyen Van Chinh (48 years old, from District 2) said this work is hard but he feels comfortable because he works for himself. The Job has enabled him to support his five-member family for many years. “I will continue do this job until my children grow up,” he said.
