(Baonghean.vn) – The "vehicle" used for carrying lanterns to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival is a modified vehicle tied to the back of a motorbike, conceived and decorated by parents in Khe Voi hamlet, Khe Bo village, Tam Quang commune, Tuong Duong district. Their ultimate goal is to bring joy to the children in this mountainous region on the night of the full moon.

Người dân xóm Khe Bôi, làng Khe Bố, xã Tam Quang, Tương Dương (Nghệ An) đã dùng chiếc xe kéo để đưa các em nhỏ trong xóm đi rước đèn ông sao.
The people of Khe Boi hamlet, Khe Bo village, Tam Quang commune, Tuong Duong district (Nghe An province) used a handcart to take the children in the hamlet to carry star-shaped lanterns.

The special "vehicle" for the lantern procession is "designed" only once a year to serve the children. It's an everyday cart that people use to haul agricultural products or construction materials. To transform it into a "vehicle" carrying special passengers, people use materials like bamboo to create the frame, then decorate it with balloons and colorful flags, and the sides are covered with curtains taken from windows. In front of the cart is a large five-pointed star covered with colored cellophane.

Các em nhỏ trong xóm hết sức thích thú về cách làm này.
The children in the neighborhood were very excited about this method.

This year, for the Mid-Autumn Festival, the people of Khe Voi hamlet made two carts to transport the children to carry star-shaped lanterns. This is the second time the hamlet has celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival in this rather unusual way.

Trội trống kèn nghiệp dư đánh loạn xạ sau xe khiến cho buổi rước đèn trở nên hết sức nhộn nhịp.
The drum and music band showed quite a professional attitude while cheering for the lantern procession.

The cart will take the children around the neighborhood, then pick them up and bring them back to the starting point for the feast.

Cuối buổi, các cháu nhỏ được chở về nơi xuất phát để phá cỗ, cũng là kết thúc đêm Tết Trung thu trong xóm.
At the end of the evening, the children were taken back to the starting point to enjoy the feast, marking the end of the Mid-Autumn Festival night in the neighborhood.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuong, a resident of the neighborhood, happily said: "Since we started celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival this way, our neighborhood has become more crowded and joyful. The children are also very excited and eager."
