Vo Phung, Director of Hoi An’s Culture and Sports Center, said that Hoi An artisans will light up the old streets of Wernigerode with hand-made lanterns.

Hoi An at night

Artists from Hoi An and Wernigerode will stage a joint performance during the lantern night festival.

Last year, German singer Rainer Hochmuth and the Webster Band performed at the German Beer festival in Hoi An.

Hoi An, a UNESCO-recognized World Heritage city, in cooperation with Wernigerode, provided a solar-powered system for public lighting as well as loudspeakers and lanterns last year.

Hoi An often hosts lantern night events during weekends. All restaurants, cafes and hotels are decorated with colorful lanterns.
