Lantern Workshop & Lantern Making Class
Description
One of the better lantern shops in the old town, and the owner actually teaches you to make one yourself – which puts it a step above the places that just sell. The selection covers a solid range of designs, sizes, and patterns (the jacquard ones travel well and look good once you’re home).
Prices here are consistently fair. Multiple people who clearly did their homework and visited several shops landed here as the best value, which is a more reliable signal than any sales pitch.
The workshop is the real draw if you have an hour to spare. You leave with something you built, not just something you bought.
Highlights
Insider Tip
Ask specifically about the jacquard-patterned lanterns - they pack flat, hold their color, and look far less touristy once you hang them at home.
