Hoi An Lantern Making Experience | Bamboo & Paper Lantern

Discover the beauty and meaning behind Hoi An’s traditional lanterns with a fun and hands-on lantern-making experience.

Step into our local lantern workshop and learn about the history and cultural significance of lanterns in Hoi An. For generations, colorful lanterns have been an important symbol of the town, illuminating its streets and creating the magical atmosphere Hoi An is famous for.

Instead of simply buying a souvenir, you will have the chance to create and decorate your own lantern. Choose your favorite colors, fabrics, and decorative style, then work on a traditional bamboo-framed paper lantern with guidance from our friendly local instructor. The bamboo frame is prepared in advance, so you can focus on choosing your design and adding your own personal touch.

One of the special features of our lantern is its foldable design. Once finished, you can easily fold and pack it into your luggage, making it convenient to take home as a meaningful souvenir from Vietnam.

Our workshop is conveniently located near Hoi An Night Market and the ferry pier, making it easy to combine your lantern-making experience with an evening exploring Hoi An. After the workshop, you can continue walking to the Ancient Town, riverside, Night Market, and other nearby attractions.

Come create something with your own hands, learn a little about Hoi An’s culture, and take home a lantern that carries your own colors and memories of the town.
