Full description

Immerse yourself in Vietnamese culture with a lantern-making class. Select from full and express options. In the full activity, make the lanterns completely from scratch. In the express activity, start with the bamboo structure of the lanterns already made and begin by choosing your lantern fabric.

Begin your experience with some herbal tea and traditional music. Hear about the history of Hoi An bamboo silk lanterns from your host and how the local people believe that hanging lanterns in front of their house brings luck, happiness, and wealth.

Create lanterns shaped like lotuses, triangles, garlic, UFOs, or diamonds and choose your own silk style and color with guidance from your instructor. This unique activity can be enjoyed by the entire family, even by kids as young as 3 years old.

Once completed, these lanterns are easy to fold, carry, or put in your luggage, so you can take home an original, hand-made souvenir from your visit to Hoi An.

Includes
  • Welcome drink of traditional Vietnamese tea
  • Lantern-making class with instructor and translator
  • Your own foldable lantern to take home
  • A secret gift made by the host
  • Hotel pickup and drop-off

The family was so nice. I enjoyed talking with them and hearing about the history of lanterns. I’m a solo traveler, but felt very welcomed as soon as I came in. Thank you for spending time with me and teaching my how to make your beautiful lanterns.❤️

Great experience! You get to create a wonderful souvenir while having fun with the other travelers and owners. All staff had great personalities and made sure each step of the way that you’re proceeding correctly (but not in a rude or impatient way - they were lovely and helpful). Had nothing to do that evening and spontaneous decision to book this one was the best ever. 200% recommend.

The lantern class was really a good experience for us. The guys were really nice and always smiling. They gave us a general explanation on lantern history and then helped us with the lantern creation. They let us create but refined the various passage if needed to have a perfect final result. At the end they also gave us a keychain as a present. I suggest this activity. Is a good moment to spend it with your friends and the lantern is then a good souvenir to bring back home.
