🇻🇳 [Shilla Monogram Da Nang] Activity_ Lantern Making Class - Genuine Review 🏮 (vs Hoi An Local Comparison)

The lantern, symbol of Hoi An! Shilla Monogram Danang's activities also include a Lantern Making Class. Through this VIP fam tour, we also had the chance to take part in it. Having experienced Lantern Making at a local shop in Hoi An Old Town this past February, I could clearly feel the difference. Since many other participants already shared their reviews of the experience, I'd like to tell you about that difference instead.

Attach the ring and tassel ✔️Convenient storage: Thanks to the traditional bamboo folding structure, just fold it up neatly and there's no need to worry about damage — No No~!! ✔️Reservation required on the day of check-in: Since this is a small, exclusive class, for a smooth schedule, we recommend booking in advance at the concierge as soon as you check in.

The G.A.O. staff kindly taught us using a mix of Korean and English, but since there were young children and slower-handed participants among us, I thought it would be even better if there were an instruction guide. This was my second time making a lantern, but it was still fun, haha. Completing my own piece with fabric and design different from Hoi An made me so, so happy~~ Hoi An Local vs Shilla Monogram Da Nang 🏮 Hoi An Old Town Local Shop ✔️Working Environment: Outdoor/open-air shop (relies on fans, hot) ✔️Fabric Quality: Thin-finish patterned printed fabric, single design fabric used ✔️Shape/Size Selection: Garlic shape, diamond shape, round shape, etc. various designs and sizes ✔️Recommended for: When you want a raw, local vibe and a variety of sizes

🏨 Shilla Monogram Danang ✔️ Work environment: Cool indoor studio (air conditioning on full blast, comfortable) ✔️ Fabric quality: Thick, subtly glossy premium silk fabric, other fabric colors can be matched ✔️ Shape/size selection: Single configuration in the prettiest standard size (about 20cm) ✔️ Recommended for: When bringing your children and parents along, wanting comfort, high quality with a traditional feel, and a one-of-a-kind, non-standardized custom-design souvenir

Overall Review: The local shop is an open-air setup, so I made it while sweating buckets, but here it was truly heaven, cool and comfortable, letting me focus entirely on the experience. Hoi An local products come in various shapes and sizes but only use a single design fabric... The Shilla Monogram, on the other hand, comes in a single configuration with the prettiest and most convenient standard size to carry. The quality of the fabric is much more premium. Since you can match it with a different color fabric of your choice, you can even create your own one-of-a-kind lantern. It costs a bit more, but for families accompanied by children or elderly parents, or for those who prefer a clean and pleasant environment, the Shilla Monogram Da Nang class is the perfect answer.

Aside from existing works, I hung my lantern and took photos~~ Took photos in front of the displayed flowers~~ And took photos outdoors too~~ Even though my skills were clumsy, after making it all, I felt truly proud! It's a time where we can all laugh together and find healing, so if you're staying at Shilla Monogram, please try experiencing this class! 🏮✨

I ran into my yoga instructor here too~~ Thank you for reading today as well! https://m.shillamonogram.com/dnmg/index.do?lang=ko
