The Lantern Treasures of Central Vietnam - Hoi An Ancient Town, a World Cultural Heritage Site

The Lantern Treasures of Central Vietnam - Hoi An Ancient Town, a World Cultural Heritage Site After enjoying two days of Michelin-starred food in Hanoi, we took a domestic flight of VietJet Air to Da Nang in the morning! This vacation trip to Vietnam is to revisit the most exciting places in northern and central Vietnam. The most popular and tourist-filled city in central Vietnam must be Da Nang. The airport is only a 10-minute drive from the city, and it only takes 45 minutes to get to Hoi An. It has become the most visited holiday destination in Vietnam in recent years. After arriving in Da Nang, we went to a seafood restaurant on the north side of My Khe Beach for lunch. Every time I come to Da Nang, I will definitely eat seafood twice because it is so fresh and cheap! The first meal was grilled shrimp, fried mantis shrimp with pepper and salt, clams cooked with lemongrass and grilled fish. It cost about HK$200. The children were very satisfied with the meal. It was so fresh~ At around 4 pm, I called a Grab taxi to Hoi An, which cost about 330,000 Vietnamese dong. There are two common itineraries in Hoi An, as follows: 1. Arrive in Hoi An in the afternoon of the first day and stay for one day, and return to Da Nang in the afternoon of the second day 2. Go to Hoi An in the afternoon and leave for Da Nang around 8pm In fact, the minister took other children to Hoi An in Da Nang for five days in March 2023. At that time, they chose the first way and fully experienced the magnificent day and night scenery of Hoi An, so this time they chose the second way. Hoi An was a foreign trade port in the 17th century, attracting a large number of Chinese people to settle down and work, so there are many Chinese associations, Guandi Temples, Buddhist temples and clan halls. It was listed as a World Heritage Site in 1999. It is very similar to the ancient city of Malacca in Malaysia! I highly recommend visiting Malacca. I came to Hoi An Ancient Town for the lantern-lit streets at night! It is recommended to arrive near the Hoi An Bridge in the evening so that you can see the sunset and night view. It is unforgettable! A must-see attraction every time you go to Da Nang and Hoi An!!! Hoi An Attractions - Lantern Street: Lanterns are a cultural symbol of Chinese society and are integrated into the ancient city of Hoi An. At night, the lanterns are lit up and look colorful and charming. Feel the charm of the ancient city of Hoi An with your family, partner, and friends at night~ - Thu Bon River Cruise: You can take a boat to light lanterns in the evening and enjoy the historical feeling of Hoi An at night, about 20 minutes - Rickshaw and bicycle: You can ride a bicycle to the beach and large farmland in Hoi An to enjoy the rural scenery, or take a rickshaw to roam the ancient city, saving a lot of energy - Ao Dai experience: Vietnamese traditional costume, showing off the girl's slender figure, fascinating under the light of lanterns -Chinese Association Hall and Temple: You can visit them if you purchase a ticket to Hoi An Ancient Town, but you can skip it. It is beautiful to take photos outside the gate. Hoi An Food -Madam Khanh The Banh Mi Queen is a popular French bread shop in Hoi An in recent years. After trying two of them during this trip, I highly recommend the mixed French bread flavors of this shop. You will definitely not be disappointed. I suggest you order takeout and bring it back to Da Nang for a midnight snack when you leave Hoi An! -Bánh Mì Phượng: Michelin Bib Gourmand recommended French bread, the most famous and popular French bread shop in Hoi An, the French bread is rich with pork, lettuce, ham and other ingredients, every bite is full of salty and fragrant flavor~ -White Rose Restaurant: White Rose Dumplings, shrimp and minced meat wrapped in rice noodle skin, sprinkled with fried shallots, fish sauce and powdered sugar to make a sweet and sour sauce, the taste is similar to crystal dumplings~ - Hoi An Dry Noodles Gaolou Mian: Dry noodles with pork, fried pork skin, and various vegetables. You can try it. #Hoian #Bánhmì #High-rise #Hoi An Ancient Town #Da Nang #Vietnam #Lantern #World Cultural Heritage #Rickshaw #White Rose #French Bag #Vietnam #Ao Dai #Thu Bon River #Vietnamese Seafood #Ju Zhichengjun #Kumamon #Kumamon #Foodie #Puffy #Miyazaki Dog #KiwiBird #Travelinvietnam #Danang #50th Anniversary of Vietnam's Reunification
