Hoi An, a UNESCO World Heritage site in central Vietnam, is a place where history and tradition are wonderfully preserved. But perhaps its most enchanting is the Hoai River boat trip by Night with Release Lantern where the ancient town transforms into a glittering spectacle of light. With a paper lantern with a candle inside. As you set it adrift on the water, you can make a wish for peace, happiness, and good fortune for yourself and your family. The sight of dozens of these glowing candles floating serenely along the river, reflecting the colorful lanterns on shore, is truly magical and spiritual.
