Hoi An Lantern Making Class

Hoi An Lantern Making Class

Creating handmade lanterns inspired by the culture and spirit of Hoi An.

When night falls, Hoi An becomes one of the most magical places in Vietnam. Colorful lanterns softly light up the ancient streets, creating the peaceful and romantic atmosphere that travelers from around the world fall in love with.

Have you ever wanted to create your own lantern by hand and take home a meaningful souvenir from Vietnam?

At Jolie Cooking Class, we invite you to experience one of Central Vietnam’s most beautiful traditions through a relaxing and hands-on lantern-making class in a warm and welcoming local atmosphere.

This is not just a tourist activity — it is a chance to slow down, connect with local culture, and create something meaningful with your own hands.

Learning traditional lantern-making techniques in Hoi An.

Guided step by step by Jolie’s local team, you will learn how traditional Vietnamese lanterns are made using colorful silk fabric and handcrafted bamboo frames.

No previous experience is needed. Our friendly hosts will help you throughout the entire process, making the experience fun, relaxing, and enjoyable for everyone.

Whether you are traveling solo, as a couple, with friends, or with family, this class is a wonderful way to experience authentic local culture away from crowded tourist spots.

A creative and meaningful cultural activity for families and children in Hoi An.

Families with children are especially welcome at Jolie Cooking Class.

Many kids love this experience because they can enjoy colors, creativity, and hands-on activities in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Our local team is always happy to guide children step by step and help them create their own beautiful lanterns with confidence.

Parents often tell us this becomes one of their favorite family memories in Hoi An — a chance to slow down, create something meaningful together, and enjoy authentic local culture beyond the usual tourist activities.

We believe travel experiences should bring families closer together through creativity, laughter, and shared moments.

Every experience helps support local children and communities in Central Vietnam.

More than just a class, this experience is also part of something meaningful.

A portion of every booking helps support Jolie’s “Food Fund for Mountain Children” in Central Vietnam. Through this project, Jolie’s family provides meals, school supplies, warm clothes, and support for children living in remote mountain villages with difficult living conditions.

After visiting schools and communities in the mountains, Jolie’s family wanted to create experiences that not only connect travelers with local culture, but also help bring care, warmth, and opportunities to local children in need.

By joining this lantern-making class, you are not only creating a handmade souvenir — you are also helping support meaningful community projects and sharing kindness through travel.

Taking home a meaningful handmade souvenir from Hoi An.

For local people, lanterns symbolize luck, happiness, warmth, and good fortune within Vietnamese homes and families.

Your handmade lantern is foldable and easy to carry, making it a perfect souvenir or gift to remember your time in Vietnam.

Many travelers tell us this becomes one of their favorite memories in Hoi An — not only because of the lantern they create, but because of the warm local hospitality and genuine cultural connection they experience here.

Join us to create beautiful lanterns, discover local culture, and enjoy meaningful moments together in Hoi An.

Leave with more than just a souvenir — leave with a story, a memory, and a piece of Vietnam made by your own hands.
