Learn about the construction of Vietnam’s traditional silk garments in Hoi An Silk Village and discover nature, life and people of Hoi An. Not only is the silk village the only location with valuable genetic sources of mulberry, it also preserves the handmade silk-weaving method from the Champa - Dai Viet era.

The lanterns have been becoming both part of Hoi An culture and Hoi An today. This tour will give you the opportunity to not only learn how to make the lantern, but also to get closer with Hoi An history and culture. You will have a brief introduction into the history, shape, and colour of the lantern, as well as the many stages of making them.
You can make your own lantern and keep it as a souvenir.
