The Beauty of Lantern-Making – Colors Lighting Up Hội An

Lanterns are the heart of Hội An, painting the old town with vivid colors each night. In craft villages like Thanh Châu, the air buzzes with creativity. Slender bamboo frames are wrapped in soft silk, adorned with patterns from elegant lotuses to long-lived cranes, crafting lanterns that are both simple and refined. In the hands of artisans, each lantern carries a story, illuminating not just the streets but the hearts of those who see them. As night falls, hundreds of lanterns twinkle, their light dancing on the Hoài River, turning Hội An into a magical painting.

Strolling the Old Town – Romance in a Bygone Era

Hội An’s old town is a living canvas, with golden-walled houses, mossy tiled roofs, and bougainvillea swaying in the breeze. Walking streets like Trần Phú or Nguyễn Thị Minh Khai, you’ll feel the pulse of the 17th century, when Hội An thrived as a bustling port. The curved-roof Chùa Cầu bridge, the vibrant Chinese-style Phúc Kiến Assembly Hall, and tiny cafés tucked along the Hoài River all exude a gentle, timeless charm. At night, the town grows enchanting as lanterns glow, their reflections shimmering on the river, inviting you to float a flower lantern and send your wishes downstream.

Exploring Traditional Craft Villages – The Living Culture of Hội An

Hội An shines with other craft villages, each a piece of its cultural mosaic. Kim Bồng carpentry village in Cẩm Kim transforms wood into intricate carvings, from rustic furniture to ornate statues. Artisans here preserve centuries-old techniques for building boats and traditional “rường” houses, showcasing their skill and dedication. Thanh Hà pottery village, about 3km from the old town, opens a world of clay and kilns. Handcrafted bowls, vases, and miniature Chùa Cầu models bear Hội An’s distinct mark. Trying your hand at pottery, you’ll feel the wonder of rough clay taking shape, connecting you to the town’s living rhythm.
