#springitinerary
Just a short 30–45 minute car ride from Da Nang (easily reachable via Grab), Hoi An Ancient Town feels like stepping into a living postcard. This UNESCO World Heritage site is famous for its well-preserved architecture, charming lantern-lit streets, and riverside magic.

Dazzle Yourself in Lantern Light
As night falls, the town transforms into a glowing wonderland with colorful lanterns dancing in the breeze by the river. It’s a truly enchanting experience that words can’t capture—one best felt in person.

Stay a Night, Soak in the Culture
To fully appreciate Hoi An’s charm, it’s highly recommended to stay at least one night. Whether you’re wandering through ancient alleyways or enjoying traditional performances, the town offers a peaceful yet rich cultural immersion that’s best savored slowly.

Hop into a round bamboo basket boat and glide through the coconut forest! You’ll even get the chance to try your hand at crab fishing—a fun and unique experience for all ages.

Must-Try Food in Hoi An:
