Fodor's Review:

At more than 90 years old, Mr. Leung Yau Kam is Hong Kong's oldest lantern maker who has refused to move his workshop across the border like all the others. These intricate, handmade works in paper take fantastical forms such as bright orange goldfish. Their role has changed over his long career from functional to purely decorative, but lanterns are still important in Chinese society. This is especially true during the Mid-Autumn Festival, when children carry their special lanterns outdoors to view the full moon. Ask for one that can pack flat.
