Moonlit manoeuvres through Hoi An, Vietnam

Moonlit manoeuvres through Hoi An, Vietnam

 16:04 23/07/2019

Once a month, on the eve of the full moon, downtown Hoi An turns off all its street lights and basks in the mellow glow of silk lanterns. Shopkeepers don traditional outfits; parades, folk opera and martial arts demonstrations flood the cobbled streets; and the riverside fills with stalls selling crabmeat parcels, beanpaste cakes and noodle soup. It’s all done for tourists of course - and some find it cloyingly self-conscious - but nevertheless this historic little central Vietnam town oozes charm, with the monthly Full Moon Festival just part of its appeal.
