Anantara Hoi An Resort Full Moon Lantern Festival – A Night of Festivities

Experience this well-preserved ancient Vietnamese city in all its glory during the monthly lantern festival, when the skies up above are lit with colourful lanterns every full moon night.

The usually quiet streets come alive with crowds of natives as well as travellers from all over the world. Bands perform traditional music with bamboo flutes whilst games of Vietnamese bingo take place around every corner of Hoi An. Luxury hotels, such as the Anantara Hoi An Resort, and others are available to choose from when it comes to picking accommodation.

Worshippers fill the temples under the bright moon, whilst vendors promote Vietnamese street food along the sidewalks. If you’re not a fan of walking through a busy city however, a great way to enjoy the festivities from afar would be to embark on a cruise down the Thu Bon River.
