Hoi An Ancient Town and Lantern-Making Experience
Today, explore Hoi An Ancient Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its well-preserved streets and blend of Vietnamese, Japanese, Chinese, and French influences. Stroll through the town to see landmarks such as the Japanese Covered Bridge, the Fujian Assembly Hall, and the 200-year-old Tan Ky House, each reflecting a different part of Hoi An’s cultural past. Afterward, enjoy a gentle bicycle ride along quiet country paths to Tra Que Vegetable Village, famous for its organic farming and fresh produce. Watch local farmers at work or take part in planting and harvesting. Lunch will feature regional dishes prepared with ingredients from the village. In the afternoon, visit a lantern workshop to learn about one of Hoi An’s most distinctive crafts. Brought to the town centuries ago by Chinese traders, lantern-making has become a symbol of local culture. Under the guidance of skilled artisans, you will make your own lantern using bamboo and silk. The process requires care and attention, but the result is a personal souvenir to take home. This day combines history, local life, and hands-on experience, offering a well-rounded look at Hoi An’s charm.
