Taste to remember<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hoi An\u2019s diverse cuisine is a major draw, with global accolades emphasising its signature flavours. More than just tasting, visitors can cook like locals. Lonely Planet ranked Hoi An\u2019s cooking classes among Vietnam\u2019s top 13 experiences in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditional food tours take visitors through local markets and farming villages, offering an authentic glimpse into rural life and culture in Quang Nam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joining cooking classes, visitors select fresh ingredients and then enjoy their own dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In early 2025, Hoi An welcomed international guests for rural cultural and culinary experiences, with expanding suburban classes drawing more tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2023, Quang Nam\u2019s food sector earned 1,200 billion VND (up 40% compared to 2019), with many households embracing culinary tourism. Le Hoang Ha, Director of Duy Nhat Hoi An Travel, sees it as a growing trend, enhancing cultural understanding and promoting Hoi An worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another popular tour in Hoi An is the lantern-making experience, recognised by Tripadvisor as one of Vietnam\u2019s top 10 travel experiences in 2023 (Travellers\u2019 Choice Best of the Best Awards).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visitors, especially foreigners, are attracted to crafting their own lanterns and learning bamboo and silk\u2019s journey. There are now 40 artisan families in Hoi An, producing hundreds of lanterns daily, especially during Lunar New Year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many workshops now integrate tour experiences. With Hoi An joining UNESCO\u2019s Creative Cities Network in crafts and folk arts, innovation in lantern-making is gaining momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tran Ha, owner of Ha Linh Lanterns, sees lantern-making as a bridge between past and present, preserving heritage for future generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
