8 Trần Cao Vân - The residents of Hoi An hold the belief that suspending lanterns outside their homes invites prosperity, joy, and affluence into their lives.
To begin, you’ll have the opportunity to savor our herbal tea while listening to an expert discuss the heritage and cultural significance of Hoi An Lanterns….
Our Lanterns are crafted from silk and bamboo, available in a variety of forms including lotus, diamond, sunrise, and sunset.
The comprehensive 11-step process to create your own lantern is as follows:
Step 1: Fasten 12 bamboo rods using wire thread
Step 2 and 3: Mold the rods into either a sunrise (inverted triangle) or sunset (triangle) shape
Step 4: Place the bamboo rods onto a hanger and fix them in place with thread
Step 5: Choose your preferred silk and hue
Step 6: Apply adhesive and wait for it to set
Step 7: Position the silk and stretch it to envelop the rods
Step 8: Encase the sides completely with silk
Step 9: Adorn the top and bottom of the hanger with silk strips
Step 10: Pick out a tassel for the base of the lantern
Step 11: Complete! You can collapse your lantern and pack it in your luggage to take home
Additionally, the expert will craft an extra lantern for you as a unique token of appreciation at the conclusion of the workshop.

So proud of ourselves! - Six ladies let loose in a lantern making class! The look of concentration on our faces was hilarious! We were guided step by step through the processes & surprised ourselves with the results. The staff were jovial, helpful & friendly. Because the lanterns fold down, they’ll be easy to pack in our suitcases. A fab experience & a lantern to remember it!

You must do this whilst in Hoi An - This is a MUST if you are in Hoi An! SO Much fun and a great activity. You make your own lantern from start to finish and get to customise it however you want. It’s actually quite tricky but the team help you along! Well worth the money

Must do activity in Hoi an - I wanted a lantern for a souvenir, but instead of buying one I chose to make one. I don’t regret my decision at all. It was so fun to make the lantern and the family run business was well organized!! Highly recommend this activity

Great experience - Great experience. It's a family run business and the staff were super helpful with a great sense of humour. The choice of materials to cover your latern with is HUGE. The lanterns collapse down to be much more suitcase friendly. Such a great way to spend 2 hours.
