🟡✨ Hoi An Old Town – Vietnam’s Lantern-lit Heritage Gem

Strolling through Hội A feels like stepping into a fairytale 🏮🌙—ancient yellow walls, hanging lanterns, quiet alleyways, and a gentle river breeze. Here are a few things I learned that’ll help you make the most of your trip: 💡 TRAVEL TIPS • Avoid: Rainy season (October–December) – flooding is common. • Tip: Plan to stay 2–3 nights to fully enjoy the day & night vibes. 🚶♀️ Getting Around • Old Town is pedestrian-friendly – cars & motorbikes are restricted during the evening (great for photos!). • Bicycle rental is common (about 20,000–40,000 VND/day). • Many hotels offer free bicycles – just ask! 🎟️ Entrance Ticket • Hoi An Old Town has a ticket system (~120,000 VND) that gives access to: • 5 sites (choose from temples, old houses, museums, etc.) • The ticket helps with heritage preservation. You don’t need it to walk around, but it’s checked at attractions. 🍽️ Must-eat foods • Cao Lầu – chewy noodles you can only find here • Bánh mì – go for Phượng or Madam Khanh • White rose dumplings – light, delicate, and local 🛍️ What to do • Custom tailoring (yes, suits & dresses in 24h!) • Night market for souvenirs and street snacks • Visit the Japanese Covered Bridge, assembly halls, and Thu Bồn riverfront 💡 Extra Tips • Bring cash – many stalls and tailors don’t take cards. • Mosquito repellent is useful in the evening. • Dress modestly when entering temples or historic houses. #summervacay #hoian #vietnamtravel #tripcomrecommends #lanterntown #unescoheritage #hoianoldtown #nightmarketvibes #foodiefinds #vietnambucketlist #tripcomtraveltips #hiddengemsasia
