The Hoi An delegation, led by Deputy Director of the Hoi An Cultural and Sports Centre Le Thanh Son, also presented the festival with three large-sized paper lanterns in the shape of five bats, a carp and a buffalo, reflecting famous Dong Ho traditional paintings.

Hoi An artisans also introduced the general history and skills of making paper lanterns to international friends.

Some 750 Vietnamese volunteers came to help the three Hoi An artisans in flying the lanterns.
