How much does it cost to launch a lantern on the river in Hoi An?

The real price of a lantern for launching on the river in Hoi An starts from 10,000 Vietnamese dong (about 0.4 US dollars). On the embankment, sellers may initially ask up to 5 dollars, but you should always bargain. If you want to save money, it's better to buy a lantern not on the embankment itself, but on the adjacent streets in souvenir shops or at stalls—there they are often sold for 5,000 dong.

The ritual of launching is very simple: you buy a paper lantern with a candle inside, light it, and carefully lower it onto the water. It is believed that if you make a wish at this moment, it will come true. The main thing is not to overpay for the activity itself, as it is the atmosphere that creates the impression: hundreds of lights floating on the dark river in the ancient city.
