Place: Pingtung
Chinese name: 阿猴城門(朝陽門)
Pinging City (屏東市) is a county-administered city and the county seat of Pingtung County, Taiwan. It is the third largest city in southern Taiwan after Kaohsiung and Tainan.
The area of modern-day Pingtung City was originally a village of the Taiwanese Plains Aborigines which they called "Akau", which means "the forest". After the expulsion of the Dutch, the village grew into a Chinese market-town called "A-kau" (Chinese: 阿猴; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: A-kâu).
In 1901, during the Japanese era, Akō Chō (Japanese: 阿猴廳) was one of twenty local administrative offices established. In 1909, this unit was merged with Banshoryō Chō (蕃薯寮廳) and Kōshun Chō (恆春廳) to form Akō Chō (阿緱廳). Beginning in 1920, the name was changed to Heitō Town (屏東街), governed under Takao Prefecture. In 1933, the town was upgraded to City status.
After the handover of Taiwan to the Republic of China from Japan on 25 October 1945, Pingtung City was established as a provincial city of Taiwan Province in December the same year. On 1 December 1951, it was downgraded to a county-controlled city of Pingtung County until today.

Xing Ping es un pueblo pequeño de algunos miles de habitantes dividido por el río Li. Siempre puedes coger tu equipo, subir escaleras durante media hora, y llegar a una pagoda desde la que contemplar las vistas; nosotros somos algo más intrépidos y decidimos ir un poco más allá, y trepar hasta la enorme antena de telefonía móvil... las vistas merecen la pena, si obviamos la maldita antena que rompe el paisaje del lugar
The many moods of a littleThai girl. My wife's cousin's daughter, Ping, is a feisty little girl of varying moods. I personally prefer her pooped out mode.
A krathong is small container or basket made of banana leaves, adorned with flowers, incense and candles. Loy Krathong means “to float a basket” which is what many people do during the festival on one of the three days.
The Thais see this as a time to wave goodbye to misfortune, wash away sins of the past year, and make wishes for the coming year. Often people will say a prayer before launching the krathong.
For the romantic at heart or young couples, Loi Krathong is the time to make a wish for happiness together. watching the route that a krathong takes is a popular way for couples to predict what the future holds for their relationship.
As a photographer, I was lucky to have access to a good vantage point to photograph people performing this yearly ritual.
I tried to capture the spirit of the event.

Ping'an village.
This Zhuang ethnic minority village is located high in the Longji mountains. These rice terraces were constructed by the Zhuang minority people to make their mountainous land arable. With construction beginning in the Yuan dynasty (1271-1368) and lasting over 400 years, the Dragon's Backbone rice terraces now cover over 16,000 acres.
