Hakkai San Firewalking - October 20th

It was a beautiful day for the fire walking at Hakkai San yesterday. Clear blue skies and the leaves starting to change their colors in the surrounding mountains.

It is a Buddhist festival and walking across the hot coals guarantees health and happiness for you family and loved ones. 

Plenty of people turned out for this festival which is held on October 20th every year, with organisers saying there were around 5,000 people turning out to watch or take part.

I wonder what happens if it rains?
