I would definitely book...
I would definitely book this experience. It’s a family run business and they are all so kind and passionate about lantern making. They also provided us with so much knowledge about the history of lanterns. They give you delicious tea and our two instructors were an absolutely blast!

Amazing family experience.
We had an amazing time making lanterns with kids aged 8 and 12. The result was beyond what we expected and the staff was so helpful especially with the kids. We really felt supported all the way. I highly recommend to do the full experience - the kids loved bending the bamboo into shape.
