Not too dignified as Hue Citadel, vibrant as Cholon - Saigon, Hoi An Ancient Town creates imprints in visitors' mind the shy beauty of traditional young woman - extremely pure but passionate and romantic. When cities, urban areas are losing the moonlight by skyscrapers and artificial lights, Hoi An moonlight is still intact. The moonlight makes the old town more beautiful, sparkling and romantic... The scene and magical light in the old town mingled with all music sounds create an exotic attraction of the Hoi An romance. The passionate and romance seems to have become the soul of the ancient town. Tourists can catch the soul and image of romance every where in Hoi An. They are moss green roofs tinted time's color, the shimmering colors of lanterns, sophisticated sculptural wood in houses existing for more than three hundred years, and the elegance of street vendors.

In particular, the ancient town owns a romance, profoundness and serenity in the magical light of lanterns on the14th night of every lunar month. In the past, if the Vietnamese people are familiar with peanut oil lamp, the Japanese and Chinese people came to Hoi An and brought the habit of using lanterns. Hoi An Ancient Town is more beautiful, more profound and peaceful in the flower candle festival. To preserve the beauty of the cultural heritage, people in Hoi An stop using electrical appliances such as TV, radio, street lights, neon lights on the 14th night of every lunar month. Instead, the entire town will be put on a colorful and warm light layer reflecting from the vivid ribbons through the glass window and paper lanterns along the streets.
