Chinese Lantern and Tricycle in Luoyang

Red paper lanterns are often hung outside restaurants to attract attention.
For us, poor illiterate visitors lost in a jungle of Chinese characters, it was a way of finding a good restaurant. (If we had visited China a (long?) time ago we would have been surprised as they were
once associated with brothels...)

Tricycles are still very common and economical means of conveyance in China.

Luoyang is a prefecture-level city in western Henan province, People's Republic of China.
Situated on the central plain of China, one of cradles of the Chinese civilization, Luoyang was one of the Four Great Ancient Capitals of China.
Luoyang is well known for the Longmen Grottoes listed by the UNESCO among the World Heritage Sites in
November 2000.

Bonsoir Henry,
Le sujet est intéressant mais la lanterne n'est pas assez mise en valeur.
J'ai tenté un WS pour essayer "humblement" de la valoriser.
Best regards

Pierre
