In particular, the service of sitting on a boat to sightsee and releasing flower lanterns to pray for peace and luck on the Hoai River is very "popular".
The festival is not only an occasion for people to pray but also an opportunity to admire the traditional beauty of the old town and experience the unique cultural values of the local people.
"Traveling during the lantern releasing ceremony, not everyone has the opportunity to experience Hoi An ancient town at special moments like this. This will be a memorable memory for me and my family" - Ms. Mai Anh said.
Many tourists from many countries enjoy experiencing this activity.
Each flower lantern carries the wish of the person who releases it.
From the culture of releasing flower lanterns, the profession of making and selling flower lanterns for the people of Hoi An to make a living was formed.
The Bai Choi singing performance in Hoi An ancient town is also very attractive to tourists.
