About the Half-day Hanoi City Tour

The Fullmoon Festival (or Mid-Autumn Festival) ranks among the most significant celebrations in the Lunar Calendar across many Asian countries, including Vietnam. While it began as a children’s celebration, the festival now delights people of all ages who cherish children and moongazing. Our half-day Hanoi city tour during the Mid-Autumn festival showcases the unique cultural values of this remarkable celebration through engaging activities and experiences.

This exclusive City Insight’s tour lets you explore Hanoi’s vibrant streets while learning how skilled artisans prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Discover traditional customs that endure despite Hanoi’s rapid modernization.

Detailed Itinerary

Meet your guide at your hotel in downtown Hanoi at 14:00. Visit a unique artisan family – the last in Hanoi maintaining the craft of traditional star-shaped lantern (Đèn ông sao) making. Learn the cultural stories behind this art form and create your own star-shaped lantern as a memorable souvenir.

Next, explore one of Hanoi’s few remaining traditional mooncake bakeries. Sample freshly baked mooncakes and learn how their production differs from modern industrial methods that have emerged in recent years.

Stroll through Hanoi’s bustling streets, alive with festival preparations, surrounded by sounds, colors, and lights. Take time to shop for personal souvenirs.

End your journey at a distinctive café in Hanoi’s Old Quarter. Relax with traditional Vietnamese mooncakes while observing local life and learning about Hanoi’s cultural heritage.

Return to your hotel late at night, concluding Hanoi city tour.
