Hoi An Ancient Town

Hoi An, nestled along the peaceful Thu Bon River, is a charming gem of Vietnam’s tourism. Located about 30 km south of Da Nang, this ancient town is a blend of Vietnamese, Chinese, and Japanese influences, reflected in its unique architecture and rich culture. Walking through Hoi An feels like stepping back in time. The moss-covered houses, narrow streets, and glowing lanterns create a peaceful, nostalgic atmosphere. Popular spots for photos include the Japanese Covered Bridge, Mot Restaurant, and old houses adorned with vibrant bougainvillea vines. Each time I visit, I love wandering through the small streets, exploring souvenir shops, and appreciating the warmth of the local people. Food is also a highlight. Hoi An is famous for its local specialties like Quang noodles, Cao Lau, Phuong bread, and Hoi An chicken rice. For those seeking a quiet retreat, there are beautiful villas and hotels near the rice fields or by the scenic An Bang and Cua Dai beaches, which also offer luxurious coastal resorts. Hoi An’s timeless beauty and laid-back vibe make it a must-visit destination in Vietnam.
