If you find yourself in central Vietnam and are wondering where you could spend your nights, head over to Hoi An; a city that is often overlooked by tourists in Vietnam but is one of the most vibrant and charming cities in the country.
1. Watch the Sunset
Climb to a high spot where you can look over the garbled roofs of the city and catch the sunset with a delicious drink in hand. The city itself will contribute to the beauty with colonial-era tiled roofs, lanterns and gardens.
2. Discover Street Food
Explore the street food scene and be sure to try delicacies such as Quang noodles, Cao Lau, spring rolls, chicken rice and wonton for example. A good tip is to always ask for the price before you sit down at a stall and judge it by the amount of paper strewn on the ground which means it’s a popular place.
3. Take a Picture
After six p.m. the lights go on so be sure to snap many pictures. It is a sight to behold.
4. Join a Night Tour
Join a night tour so you can take a boat ride, a host meal at a local home and get an explanation of the culture and history behind what you see.
5. And a Grand Dinner
There are plenty of great restaurants in Hoi An, where you could try out a gourmet version of the popular dishes at places like Art Space Hoi An Restaurant.
