Hoi An is where rapid development slows down to a relaxed pace – a world heritage site that was a trading port dating from the 15th to the 19th century. Along the Thu Bon River, old houses and ancient pagodas add character, while traditional boats frequent the historic ferry dock. Beyond the Old Town, roads run through expansive rice fields, leading to a lively coastline. Spending a few days here will enchant you with Hoi An’s laid-back charm, especially with its serene beauty and enchanting evenings illuminated by lanterns.

Dining in Hoi An is not only about the food but also the atmospheric setting. The ancient town comes alive at night with vibrant lantern-lit streets, making the dining experience a visually enchanting journey through the city’s rich history and culinary traditions.
