Lantern Thuy Tam
Description
Lantern Thuy Tam runs lantern-making workshops out of a traditional house that dates back to at least the 1880s, which gives the whole thing a different feel from the tourist-facing shops on the main drag. Huyen and Moon lead the classes, and the pace is relaxed – no rushing, no group pressure, just you picking your fabric and figuring out the folds at your own speed.
Prices run 200,000 VND for a small lantern and 300,000 for a large one, which undercuts several nearby competitors. They can usually take you on the spot without a booking. If you want something custom – like a much larger version of a style you see in the shop – they can make it in about an hour.
Highlights
Insider Tip
Ask to see the lanterns stored out the back - the front display is just a fraction of what they have, and if you want a custom oversized version of something you like, they can turn it around in about an hour.
