Hoi An

Get lost in the mysterious old town:

From the 15th to the 19th century, merchants from China, Japan, and later Europe settled in Hoi An, creating a unique blend of architecture and lifestyle. Bring your camera and walk through the iconic Japanese Covered Bridge, the Tan Ky ancient house, or the splendid Phuc Kien Assembly Hall to feel the breath of time and the people of the old town.

Enjoy the tasty cuisine:

Eating in Hoi An is an endless joy! From the lush vegetable gardens of Tra Que and the generous sea, fresh vegetables, aromatic herbs, and delicious seafood are brought to the markets every day. Along with that are the sweet, ripe fruits, contributing to the richness of Hoi An cuisine. The three quintessential dishes that you must try are Cao Lầu (special dry noodles), fried wonton, and Bánh Bao Bánh Vạc (also known as Rose Dumplings).

Join a cooking class:

When coming to Hoi An, don’t just enjoy its food, but discover culinary secrets by making it. Join a cooking class, and a friendly local chef will guide you to choose fresh ingredients from the local markets and prepare famous dishes such as Cao Lầu and Bánh Xèo (Pancake). This activity is a great way to understand more about the culture through each flavor, bringing the quintessence of Hoi An to your kitchen.

Cycling in the peaceful countryside:

Dawn in Hoi An is the ideal time to lock your helmet, climb on a bike, and immerse yourself in the countryside scenery, weaving through the narrow village roads. During the middle crop, you’ll find yourself among a sea of ​​green rice fields, with buffaloes leisurely wagging their tails and nibbling on grass. The routes pass through Cam Thanh and Tra Que, where you live with lush vegetable gardens and coconut-shaded village ponds.

Enjoy the golden sun and blue sea:

An Bang Beach, just a 15-minute bike ride through rice fields from the Old Quarter, promises fresh seafood lunches, long stretches of sand, refreshing waters, and lapping waves. Bring your books, beach towels, and swimsuits, or take a boat to the Cham Islands for more pristine beaches.

Marvel at My Son sanctuary:

My Son Sanctuary is a UNESCO World Heritage Site about 40 km from Hoi An. Nestled in a valley near a stream, the Cham people built these temples of sandstone and baked bricks from the 7th to the 13th centuries. They bear unique architectural beauty, full of the mystery of the construction style and belief in worshiping Hindu gods.
