Situated along the picturesque banks of the Thu Bon River around 30 kilometers from the city of Da Nang, Hoi An Ancient Town has been a renowned and enchanting tourist destination in Vietnam for many years. In contrast to modern cities, the ancient town leaves a profound impression on visitors with its moss-covered roofs, yellow walls, and the vibrant lanterns that combine to form the signature of Hoi An's identity.
Hoi An lanterns are traditional handicrafts typically crafted from silk, paper and other lightweight materials. Passed down through the generations, they carry a rich history and cultural significance. These lanterns not only serve as decorative items in everyday use but also play an essential role in Vietnam's traditional festivals and celebrations. This is especially true during Hoi An's annual lantern festival, where thousands of lanterns illuminate the city, creating a dreamy atmosphere.
