Have a Night in Hoi An Ancient Town
I can firmly say that out of all the beautiful destinations in Vietnam, Hoi An is the best place for lovers at night. Only around a 40-minute drive from Da Nang, this ancient town will treat you with enchanting lanterns, delicious food, and a relaxing atmosphere. Your memories will be engraved in the future by walking the beautiful streets, relaxing on the local boats, or trying some local delicacies.
You’d better spend a full day in Hoi An in order to enjoy what it has to offer to the fullest. I know sometimes you want to be lazy, but please ignore that annoying habit with determination because the reward is even worthier! The sunrise on the beach here is obviously splendid, and I believe that spending this time on An Bang beach which was listed as one of the top 25 most beautiful beaches in the world by Tripadvisor, will be unforgettable. It is a great way to start a fantastic day, isn’t it?

Do you feel hungry yet? Step away from Western restaurants, because the local delicacies are a thousand times fresher, cheaper, and tastier! Banh mi – the iconic Vietnamese baguette should be enjoyed first, and you can either choose “Banh Mi Phuong” at 2B Phan Chu Trinh Phuong or “Banh Mi Madame Khanh” at 135 Tran Cao Van Khanh to satisfy your morning hunger. With only 30,000 VND (1.4 USD) you will have a delectable baguette full of meat, vegetables, and delicious sauces. Just freely eat until you’re about to burst and don’t worry about being too full because the streets of Hoi An beckon your attention.
Wandering around the old town streets, exploring narrow corners, and discovering the footprints of time in the old buildings are the most natural way to digest your delicious breakfast. Moreover, you will have good times learning about the life and culture of the locals in Hoi An. And remember this, never leave without checking the iconic Japanese Bridge, Sa Huynh Culture Museum, Ethnic Chinese Assembly Halls, and the old houses. These landmarks make this town unique and irresistible. And if you still have the energy to spare, why not begin exploring the city’s bustling shopping districts from tailor-made clothing to jewelry? You will find beauteous local products to gift your partner.
The night has come and Hoi An will don its most impressive cloak. Eat a small meal along the river, wander into a dimly lit bar with nice music, or simply retire just a little early.
