Enjoying the enchanting lanterns of Hoi An

(VOV) - The ancient city of Hoi An is legendary for its very short and narrow streets laid out in a winding crossing chessboard pattern – and silk lanterns, its most famous handicraft.

In the evening, restaurants and shops along the city streets are alit with the glimmer and sparkle of the lanterns creating a vibrant and elegant atmosphere for the World Cultural Heritage site.

Handmade and environmentally friendly, the colourful lanterns come in a wide variety of rich designs, styles, and patterns made of bamboo, wood, metal, silk and paper.

Some evening photos of the shimmering light of lanterns reflecting off Hoi An ancient city streets:
