Worth agreeing on before you meet

Lantern Etiquette

The lanterns are Hoi An's cultural identity — do not pull or swing them for photos. Buy floating candle offerings (₫10k) to release on the river respectfully. During the full moon festival, the tradition is deeply spiritual, not just decorative.

Temple Respect

Remove shoes before entering temple buildings and assembly halls. Dress modestly with covered knees and shoulders. Do not touch or climb Buddha statues. Photography is usually allowed outside but check signs before shooting inside prayer areas.

Full detail — itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety — is in the Hoi An travel guide.
