  • Hoi An Lantern Festival - The monthly Hoi An lantern festival falls on the night of the full moon, when bright lights are swapped for silk lanterns and candles.  Lighting a small lantern and sending it down the river is a popular custom here.  In the evenings hundreds of brightly coloured lanterns can be seen floating along the river.  To avoid the crowds in town, many prefer to boat a a sampan boat to launch their lantern on the river and avoid the mob entirely.  If you’re not in town for the lantern festival,  night-time Hoi An is always lit up with silk lanterns, one of the towns specialties.  Lantern vendors, sometimes combined with sampan boats will combine a lantern-sampan trip for you for around USD$5 lasting around 20 minutes.

  • Clan Jetty Penang - the area where the clan jetties in Penang were once littered with wood planks and firewood. Locals gathered the planks and constructed jerryrigged piers, houses and sheds. Settlements grew on these piers, and in addition to providing housing for locals, they were also used for the loading and unloading of goods onto boats and mooring of sampans. Each individual jetty identified with respective clans. Originally there were seven clan jetties but only six remain, Chew Jetty is the largest and most active and has become something of a tourist attraction, with visitors eager to view these last bastions of Chinese settlements and a vanishing way of life.
