Da Nang, Vietnam | Wandering the Alleys of Hoi An Ancient Town: Exploring the Everyday Life of Ordinary People

The bustle of Hoi An Ancient Town is often concentrated on the streets festooned with lanterns and the bustling riverside. But a slight turn into the narrow alleys reveals a completely different scene.

These narrow alleys aren't wide, but they embody the truest life of the locals. Elderly people sit in doorways to cool off, families busy preparing dinner, and children chase each other through the alleys, creating a simple yet carefree atmosphere. Compared to the bustling tourist areas, the atmosphere here is more tranquil, as if time has slowed down, showcasing the simplest daily life.

Most of the buildings in the alleys retain the marks of time. The mottled marks on the walls and the creaking of wooden doors whisper the story of the ancient town. Occasionally, you can see residents brewing tea or drying clothes outside their homes, a vibrant sense of daily life.
