Few experiences capture the soul of Hội An like an evening at the Bến thuyền thả hoa đăng on the Hoài River. As darkness falls, the waters shimmer with thousands of floating lanterns, each carrying prayers for peace, health, and happiness. Step aboard a small wooden boat, release your own hoa đăng, and watch it drift into the current — a ritual as poetic as it is timeless.
🌿 Symbolism & Meaning
In Vietnamese tradition, lanterns symbolize letting go of sorrow and welcoming new blessings. Along the Hoài River, with lantern-lit houses reflected in the water, the old town transforms into a living painting of serenity and light.
🍴 Pair Your Visit: Hoa Anh Đào – Restaurant & Bar
After your ride, continue the magic at Hoa Anh Đào. This riverside gem serves authentic Vietnamese dishes and cocktails with sweeping views of the glowing river — a perfect setting for romance or quiet reflection.
