To buy a lantern in Hoi An at the lowest price, do not buy it right on the embankment near the An Hoi Bridge, especially from active sellers who walk around tourists. The initial price there can be inflated by 10 times!

Here's where you can buy cheaper:

  • On adjacent streets: Move 1-2 streets away from the river into the depths of the old town. At stalls and in small souvenir shops, lanterns are often sold at a fixed price of 5,000 Vietnamese dong.
  • In souvenir shops: Many shops selling postcards, clothing, and other souvenirs also have lanterns in their assortment at a normal price.
  • Bargain on the embankment: If you want to buy on the spot, immediately divide the named price at least in half. Boldly offer 10,000 dong β€” this is the real cost after bargaining.

Remember that the lantern is just a paper attribute, and the main thing is the spectacle itself and your emotions. All tips on saving and visiting we have collected in one place: Launching night lanterns on the Hoi An River.
