Lantern Festival in Hoi An. Amazing scenes on the river

Immerse yourself in the magic of Hoi An's Lantern Festival, a mesmerizing celebration that lights up the ancient streets with vibrant colors and cultural splendor! 🏮✨ As luck would have it, my visit coincided with this enchanting event, and I couldn't wait to experience it firsthand.
With Old Town just a stone's throw away from my cozy homestay, I eagerly made my way to the festivities. At 7 o'clock, the serene river came alive as boats adorned with radiant lanterns glided gracefully along its shimmering waters, casting a spellbinding glow that danced in the night.
Although I had anticipated the dimming of lights at 8 o'clock and the release of paper lanterns into the air at 9 o'clock, the evening took an unexpected turn. Nevertheless, the bustling energy of the night market beckoned, offering a delightful array of street food delights to savor and explore.

Hello Stu.... nice video. Hoi An is amazingly beautiful, especially at night - I'm thinking it's probably beautiful every night. Thanks for showing us around and I look forward to your next video. Cheers from Keith in Adelaide.

Thanks Stu, enjoyed this evening vlog and yes you did get your dates and times right, they usually float candles on the river as well which ends about 10pm so not sure what happened this month..

A lot of backpackers were very confused with the night but still enjoyable :)
