𖤥𖠿 Airbnb: Little Pie Cabany 𖦞 Location: Less than a 10-minute cab ride from Hoi An Ancient Town. Located in a small village with coffee shops, bakeries, and cooking classes nearby, though none are open in the evening. 𖦞 Price: HKD 1158 / 2 nights / breakfast included 𖦞 Amenities: Features a king-size bed, a TV, and a wooden wardrobe. However, there's no vanity or high table to put things on, which is quite inconvenient. Plus, the room has two doors: the front door uses a smart lock, but the back door opens directly to the pool (an open area) and couldn't be locked. We had to block it with our suitcases. The curtains didn't close all the way either, so anyone outside could easily see inside. The bathroom doesn't separate the wet and dry areas, the ceiling was leaking, and the room wasn't cleaned thoroughly. Overall, the actual experience was quite mediocre.

🌙 Vietnam's Vintage Charm: Hoi An Ancient Town Located in central Vietnam, Hoi An is the most well-preserved traditional trading port in Southeast Asia. It’s brimming with ancient architecture where diverse cultures blend beautifully, such as the Japanese Covered Bridge and Chinese assembly halls. When night falls, thousands of lanterns light up the town, and small paper lanterns float down the Thu Bon River, creating a truly romantic vibe. It was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1999. 🏯 Recommended Spots ⛩️ Japanese Covered Bridge – The iconic symbol of Hoi An. Built between 1593 and 1595, it features stone monkey and dog statues at both ends. It’s even more breathtaking when illuminated at night. 🇨🇳 Fujian Assembly Hall – Grand and majestic. Built during the Kangxi era of the Qing Dynasty as a gathering place for Chinese expats, its inner courtyard and intricate carvings are simply spectacular. 🏮 Lantern Street – Bursting with lanterns of every color and design. It transforms into a magical wonderland at night, and you can even buy one to take home as a souvenir. 🍂 Thu Bon River – A leisurely stroll along the riverbanks offers gorgeous views. You can take a boat ride or release a floating lantern at sunset to make a wish. 🍜 Must-Eats · White Rose – Delicate shrimp dumplings wrapped in translucent rice paper. Fresh, light, and delicious! · Fried Wontons – Crispy deep-fried dumplings. Crunchy on the outside and wonderfully savory on the inside. · Cao Lau – Hoi An's signature noodle dish. Chewy noodles topped with crispy pork rind croutons—totally unique and packed with flavor. 🛏️ Where to Stay · Luxury – Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai. Stunning views and absolute top-tier facilities. · Budget-Friendly – Homestays with swimming pools on An Hoi Island. Prime locations at reasonable prices. 🛍️ Shopping & Things to Do Beyond lanterns, you can shop for traditional souvenirs like Ao Dai, silk goods, and wood carvings. For your evening itinerary, the 'Hoi An Memories' show is an absolute must-see. It's an incredible way to experience traditional Vietnamese culture brought to life! I highly recommend visiting at least once to slow down and soak up all the beautiful vibes 🌸

I originally thought Hoi An was just another "photo-op ancient town." But once I got there, it was a completely different story. It’s the kind of place that makes you zone out as you wander. Yellow heritage houses, weathered walls, streets full of lanterns, street-side aunties spacing out on small stools selling their wares, and bougainvillea that somehow always blooms perfectly. Every random corner looks straight out of a movie scene. 🌸 The most ridiculous part is, I actually told myself, "Don't take too many pictures today." Fast forward less than half an hour, and my phone started popping up "Storage Full" warnings. 🤣 Because this place is just too unreal. Even the entrance to an ordinary coffee shop looks like a magazine cover. And what's magical about Hoi An is: It's not that polished, high-end kind of pretty. It's old, slow, a bit humid, and a bit chaotic, even with power lines tangled everywhere, but put it all together and it just oozes charm. Nighttime is even crazier. Once the lanterns light up, the entire ancient town looks like a real-life filter. ✨ A lot of people visiting Vietnam flock to Da Nang, but I think the place that really stays with you and leaves you longing to return is somewhere like Hoi An. It doesn't try too hard to impress you, but it will quietly linger in your memory for a long time.

Many people visit Hoi An for the lanterns, the photos, and the check-ins. But wandering into the Ancient Town this time, I was actually moved by its "ordinary daily moments." Before the early morning streets get busy, a local auntie in a conical hat quietly sets up her tofu pudding stall against an old wall. No hawking, no tourist pitches—just a purely authentic rhythm of life. Turn down an alley, and you'll find charming little shops that are unpretentious yet full of character. Wooden doors half-open, lanterns gently swaying, the air blending the aroma of coffee with the tropical heat. Sit down, in no rush to order, and simply watch the time slowly slip by. By evening, the riverside starts to bustle with life. Small boats pull up to the banks one by one, lanterns light up, and the water shimmers with a soft glow. Yet, the most picturesque scenes are actually the people weaving through the streets on bicycles, as if they are just living out their everyday lives in this city. What makes Hoi An so special is— it's not the kind of city where you "absolutely must see something," but rather, once you step inside, you gradually get carried away by its pace. Some places are meant for checking in, but Hoi An is meant for living. ⸻ 📍 Quick Tips ・ A morning stroll through the Ancient Town has much more charm than going at night ・ Finding a cozy cafe to just sit and relax is far more rewarding than rushing from sight to sight ・ Head to the riverside around dusk—it's the perfect time to watch the lanterns light up Ancient Town

When I first came to Hoi An, I didn't really have any special expectations. But the moment I stepped into the Old Town, the pace suddenly slowed down. It wasn't a deliberate choice to slow down, but rather, this place is never in a rush to begin with. ⸻ Yellow heritage houses, slightly weathered walls, and red lanterns hanging under the arcades, swaying gently in the breeze. It's not overly polished, but it's just right. The kind of "just right" that makes you want to linger a little longer. ⸻ Walking along the river, small boats are docked one after another, boatmen chatting and waiting for customers, tourists taking photos on the bridge, while locals just go about their daily lives. It's fascinating here, how tourism and everyday life blend together so seamlessly. ⸻ My favorite time of day here is dusk. The light softens, street lamps light up one by one, people start setting up their stalls, and someone rides by on a bicycle. You'll find yourself unconsciously slowing your footsteps. ⸻ There’s one scene that has stayed with me for a long time— an auntie carrying fruit on a shoulder pole, walking slowly down the street. No one was paying particular attention to her, but that very moment felt the most "Hoi An." ⸻ If you ask me what Hoi An is, I would say— 👉 It's not just a place for social media check-ins, but a place that genuinely makes you slow down. ⸻ 📍 Quick Tips ・Dusk till night offers the best vibes ・Spend a little more time by the river (it has more character than the main attractions) ・No need for a strict itinerary, wandering around aimlessly is actually better

Hoi An, a small port city in Central Vietnam. This is a place where coffee, basket boats, and a thousand lanterns flow seamlessly. · -- ☕️ Hell for a Coffeeholic? More Like Heaven! Stroll through the Ancient Town, and you'll find a cafe every few steps. Averaging 30k VND (around $1.20), Vietnamese coffee offers a rich, deep flavor. Step into a cafe housed in a restored old building, order a cup of drip coffee (phin), and soak in the perfect sunlit afternoon🌿 · -- 🛶 Basket Boats: An Absolute Must-Try! Just a 15-minute drive from the Ancient Town lies the Cam Thanh Coconut Forest. The price is about $4.50 (around 30 RMB / 6,000 KRW)—haggling is a must! The boat captains will zigzag through the water palms and even throw in some splashing fun! Make sure to wear quick-dry clothes since you'll likely get wet. The laughter here is louder than the splashing waves😂 · -- 🏮 Nighttime: When a Million Lanterns Glow At 6:30 PM, the lanterns light up one by one along the Thu Bồn River. Top 3 Must-Do Activities: 1. Buy a lotus lantern for about $0.75 (5 RMB / 1,000 KRW) and float it down the river yourself. 2. Rent a small boat and row into the middle of the lantern-lit sea (the view is absolutely breathtaking). 3. Snap photos capturing the yellow houses across the river and the lights reflecting on the water. · -- 📌 The Perfect One-Day Itinerary Afternoon: Cafe hopping & browsing handicraft shops → Sunset: Basket boat ride → Evening: Dinner at an Ancient Town spot (try Cao Lau or White Rose dumplings) → Night: Floating lanterns & taking in the night views → Accommodation: Choose between a stay in the Ancient Town or a beachside resort. · -- 💡 Pro Tips & Fun Facts · Hoi An lanterns are handcrafted from mulberry bark—when lit at night, they look like glowing, breathing fruits. · Mosquito repellent is a must, and don't forget to negotiate the price before hopping on a boat. · You'll need an Ancient Town entrance ticket (80,000 VND for adults, about $3.20), which grants access to various heritage sites. · -- Hoi An, a magical place that will steal your heart in just one day. A memory filled with coffee, lanterns, and endless smiles🌙

At five in the morning, I was gently awakened by the soothing waves while lying on the balcony chair. Opening my eyes, the karst peaks of Ha Long Bay, Vietnam, like fairy mountains on the sea, were slowly drifting into my floor-to-ceiling window. Six days ago, I was a bit reluctant to take a cruise. But when I stepped onto the deck of China’s first domestically built large cruise ship—the Adora Magic City, everything I thought I knew was completely overturned. This massive sea giant, 323.6 meters long with 2,125 cabins, is a fantastical Eastern wonderland. In the 270-degree panoramic dining bar, I savored exquisite fusion dishes blending East and West while gazing at the seamless horizon of sea and sky. At night, Broadway-level shows and the dazzling themed stage play "Adora Shan Hai Jing" take turns performing, where Eastern and Western cultures collide and blend. My favorite spot is still the infinity deck at the stern. Just feeling the sea breeze and doing nothing is the perfect way to drift at sea. After a day and night of sailing, the cruise slowly entered this bay listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The title "Guilin on the Sea" is well deserved. Transferring to a shuttle boat weaving through the waters, sunlight sparkled on the surface, casting enchanting glimmers. Navigating the maze-like islands and forests, you marvel at nature’s craftsmanship—the fighting cock rock is lifelike, and inside the caves, magnificent stalactite wonders await. For the brave, you can even hop into a kayak to get up close to those million-year-old cliffs and experience the serene isolation on the crystal-clear sea. After bidding farewell to the peaks, our next stop was docking at Hue (Chan May Port). Stepping into the ancient town of Hoi An, time seemed to rewind to the 15th century. This former Eastern trading port has now shed its hustle and bustle, filled with leisure. Wearing a flowing Ao Dai and carrying a lotus lantern bought from the street, I strolled through alleys hung with colorful lanterns. Sitting down at a corner café, ordering an authentic drip coffee, and watching the ancient street’s slow shadows under the sun, I was completely captivated by the French charm. At the end of the journey, the cruise docked at Nha Trang (Cam Ranh Port). To truly see Nha Trang’s soul, you must explore the Po Nagar Cham Towers. This millennium-old site dedicated to the goddess Yan Po Nagar is the most precious architectural treasure left by the ancient Champa Kingdom. At dusk, I shed my finery, changed into beach shorts, and dove into the street food stalls of Nha Trang. Ordering freshly caught lobster and crab, watching the owner grill them over charcoal on the spot, and opening a bottle of ice-cold Saigon beer—accompanied by the slightly salty sea breeze—this bite was the most vibrant and fiery taste of the Vietnamese coastline. On this wonderful journey, we completely healed our mental fatigue among the peaks and everyday life’s warmth. If you want to recreate this experience, why not take a spontaneous trip on the Adora Magic City? This 6-day, 5-night Vietnam cruise departs from Shenzhen, hassle-free, with prices ranging from 4,000 to 8,000 RMB per person, offering excellent value. ✨ Practical TIPS: · Visa: Vietnam offers visa-on-arrival for Chinese citizens. With a passport valid for more than 6 months and two 2-inch white background photos, you can conveniently apply when the cruise docks. · Dress code: The cruise hosts a formal captain’s dinner; men are advised to bring a suit or shirt, and women an elegant dress. For shore excursions, light summer clothing is recommended, and modest attire is required when visiting religious sites like the Imperial City of Hue. · Food: The cruise has 5 free restaurants, offering everything from royal banquets to late-night congee and noodles. Onshore, be sure to try Hue beef noodle soup, Hoi An cao lau noodles, and Nha Trang seafood barbecue, paired with a cup of Vietnamese drip coffee. · Best season: November to April is Vietnam’s dry season, with temperatures between 22-28°C and calm seas, ideal for cruising.

Hoi An is perhaps the most soulful and photogenic place in Vietnam. If Saigon is frenetic energy and Phu Quoc tropical relaxation, then Hoi An is a fairy tale frozen in time. It is often called the "Venice of Vietnam" because of the canals and yellow houses reflected in the river. Hoi An's Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Cars are prohibited here, and motorcycles are also prohibited at certain hours. Almost all the buildings are painted a warm ochre color, appearing golden in the sunset. It is a whimsical blend of Vietnamese, Chinese, and Japanese styles, with a touch of French colonialism. Japanese Bridge: The symbol of the city, built in the 17th century, this covered temple-bridge once connected the Japanese and Chinese quarters. Hoi An is the capital of silk lanterns. Thousands of colorful lanterns are lit in the streets, shops, and boats. You can board a small boat, light a paper lantern with a candle inside, make a wish, and set it adrift on the Thu Bon River. #Vietnam #Hoi An

The gravel courtyard and stepping stones leading to the entrance, along with the green plants placed throughout and the outdoor tables, create the feeling of entering a small garden. ♥️ The first thing you notice when you open the door and step inside is a sense of calm. With white walls as the base and wood-toned furniture serving as the centerpiece, It was holding me back. On the first floor, black rail lighting is installed on the ceiling, giving it a modern feel, while lush green plants are placed throughout the cafe, creating a sentimental atmosphere. When you go up to the second floor, a completely different vibe unfolds. The ceiling is high, and the addition of a wood lattice structure made the space look even more spacious!

My Son is not a mountain; it is a cluster of tower temples in central Vietnam and the country's most historically valuable world cultural heritage site. It is located about 70 kilometers from Da Nang and about 40 kilometers from the ancient town of Hoi An. Built around 500 AD, it is a Cham site left by the Champa Kingdom and has been listed as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site. Some call it the "Vietnamese Angkor Wat," although Cambodia's Angkor Wat is actually larger in scale. The ancient towers of My Son are mostly built with red bricks and feature exquisite carvings, heavily influenced by Hinduism and South Asian architecture. It was once the Hindu sacred capital for worshipping the Champa kings and deities, the most important sacred site left by the Champa Kingdom, and the place where successive Champa kings held religious ceremonies. Today, there are still 20 incomplete but well-preserved original architectural ruins. The My Son scenic area is vast, ideal for leisurely walks and photography, with guided tours available to learn about the inscriptions and history. It is recommended to allocate half a day or a full day for visiting. You can travel there by car from Da Nang or the ancient town of Hoi An. If you are interested in ancient architecture, stone carving art, or Southeast Asian ancient civilizations, My Son is definitely worth a visit.

Riverside Area: For a real treat, hop on a small boat right by the Old Town—perfect for golden hour photos and a relaxing way to see the city from a different angle. 3.

#foodie圈 Hoi An is full of familiar street food, so finding something different here feels rare. This small kebab spot stands out for one reason – ostrich meat. It sounds unusual, but the result is surprisingly light, slightly sweet, and much less heavy than regular beef or lamb. The wrap itself is well balanced. Fresh vegetables, soft bread, and a clean, simple sauce that does not overpower the meat. Everything tastes fresh, not greasy, and easy to finish even in the heat. It is one of those places where you come out not feeling overloaded, just satisfied. What makes it even better is the setting. The views around the area are open and calm, especially in the late afternoon when the light becomes softer and the whole place feels slower. Tips Come closer to sunset – the light around Hoi An here is especially good and adds a completely different mood to the stop. 📍 Ou La La Kebab Hoi An

If you only have 24 hours in this city, forget about rushing. Hoi An should be savored slowly, like Vietnamese coffee. 🌅 Morning: Aesthetic and Serenity Time · 08:00 — Breakfast in the Old Town.

The Art of the "Street Ballet": Merchants and Magic Shoulders The Vibe: You’re sitting in a cozy café, sipping your salt coffee, when suddenly the world comes to you. A woman with a beaming smile and a bamboo pole across her shoulders (the Gánh hàng rong) appears like a fairy godmother of snacks. She offers roasted nuts, intricate pop-up cards, and bamboo dragonflies that balance on a fingertip. The Reality Check: Local friends might whisper, "Don't buy from them, it's just for tourists!" But how can you resist a bit of local theater? My Personal Discovery: I decided to try on that bamboo pole for a photo, and darling—it was a shock! It is incredibly heavy.
