Hoi An in a Day: Lantern Making, Basket Boat Ride & Floating Lanterns
8Experience the Best of Hoi An in One Day! 🇻🇳
In this Hoi An travel vlog, we explore the most unforgettable activities the city has to offer — from traditional lantern making to an intense basket boat ride, delicious local food, and a magical floating lantern release on the river.
🛖 Lantern Making Workshop
We started our day with a hands-on Hoi An lantern workshop, where we created our own colorful Vietnamese lanterns — a must-do cultural experience!
🌀 Basket Boat Ride in the Coconut Forest
Then came the wild part: a spin-filled basket boat tour through the famous Bay Mau Coconut Forest. (Spoiler: I still feel dizzy from the 1-minute spin 😂 )
🍽 ️ Local Food at Hoi An Cuisine
We took a break to enjoy incredible local dishes — especially the white rose dumplings, one of Hoi An’s specialties you have to try.
🌸 Releasing Flower Lanterns on the Thu Bon River
As the sun set, we headed to the river to release flower lanterns and make a wish — a peaceful and spiritual way to end the day.
⚠ ️ We made a small mistake here — watch to the end so you don’t do the same!
