Silk Lantern Workshop in a Merchant House

Hội An· Vietnam

8.8

A third-generation lantern family teaches you the real construction — bamboo frame, silk skin, no glue-gun shortcuts — in the courtyard of a 200-year-old merchant house. It is genuinely hands-on and the finished lantern folds flat for your luggage. Fair warning: the 7pm session coincides with peak old-town foot traffic outside, so book the morning slot if you want the courtyard quiet.
