Kongming lantern, also called sky lantern, is the first hot air balloon invented by Zhuge  Liang, a famous military strategist in ancient China.

During the period of Three Kingdoms (220~280), Zhuge Liang was trapped in Pingyang (a city in ancient China) and he could not go out for help. However, Zhuge,who was good at measuring wind direction, made a floating paper lantern to send out a message for help.

Before long, he was saved by the army who received his lantern. Later, people call it kongming lantern as Kongming is the style name of Zhuge Liang.

Traditionally in China, people write their hopes, wishes or goodbyes on the lanterns before lighting and releasing them, which is why sky lanterns are also known as wishing lanterns.

During the night of lantern festival, Some people in Taiwan will fly kong ming lantern by writing their wishes on the paper lantern and pray their wishes come true. 
Long time ago, people thought the lantern will fly up to the heaven. The god of heaven will receive their messages and will give them blessing.

Kong ming lanterns are fast gaining popularity in Thailand, these lanterns are released not only during Thai festivals, but also during celebrations such as Christmas, Valentine's Day, birthday, anniversaries,wedding , party ,holiday and other celebrations.

You can create an romantic and fantastic atmosphere for your lovers on your date or special days.

As a wishing lantern, simply write your wishes or love notes on the lantern before releasing it into the sky!

Do not use Sky Lanterns near airports, power lines, petrol stations, hazardous storage, dry crops or areas where the ground is likely to set fire very easily.

How to tie the paper fuel to your Kong Ming lantern?
Simply place the paper fuel in the position as shown in the picture below and tighten the wire to secure the paper fuel to the lantern.




How to use the sky lantern?
Unfold the bag and fill the sky lantern with air as you would like a garbage bag.
Light the fuel cell and allow it to burn for 30 sec.
Hold the sky lantern upright over the flame, without letting the paper touch the flame.

Allow the air in the bag to be heated sufficiently (1-2 minutes) until the sky  lantern begins to slowly rise and the sides are warm to touch.

Release the sky  lantern and enjoy the show! 
Children should be accompanied by adults.

Basically you have to find a open space free far away from petroleum or building.
