We chanced upon this charming little girl along the Hoi An river during our evening walk. She was one of the several vendors who were marketing their services of releasing floating candles along the Hoi An River. The floating candles would carry your hopes and wishes and it is believed that the longer your candle stays alight, the stronger your desires and wishes are fulfilled. She was such a joyful and friendly character and possessed such a lovely smile that made this photo of her such a beautiful one.
