🇻🇳When you think of travelling to Vietnam, you think of Da Nang! When you think of Da Nang, you think of Hoi An! The city of lanterns💕🏮
I'm sure there are many people who have that image. Let me introduce you to Hoi An, which is almost always featured on Instagram!
🚘Access: About an hour by car from Da Nang!
➡️If you use grab, you will probably get the impression that "I want you to ask me to help you on your way back too." If they seem kind, please ask them to help you on your way back too. It would be a shame if they couldn't find a customer heading to Da Nang😭In our case, the fare for the trip was only 100 to 200 yen higher after rounding up the decimal point.
🕰️Recommended time of day: If you're looking for lanterns, go after dark! Night is enough🌉
➡️You might want to visit the whole city of Hoi An🎶, but I don't think that's necessary. There are many souvenir shops, but they all sell roughly the same things, and there are few crafts unique to the area or the shop.
🏖️Atmosphere: Disneyland overall. It also has a similar atmosphere to the American Village in Okinawa. It gives the impression that it is a city that grew up by tourists, rather than Vietnam itself. It seems that the law requires that shops in Hoi An have lanterns lit‼️
💰Price per person: There is no entrance fee, so it's just the cost of sightseeing such as food and souvenirs. I think the price is about 1.5 times higher than other places in Vietnam.
💞Reasons for recommendation
✅The lanterns are beautiful! You can also float lanterns.
➡️It seems that in the past, the lights were only lit on the full moon day of each month, but now it seems that it doesn't change no matter what time of year you go for tourism.
The lanterns are not lit all over the river, but the ones bought by tourists who were interested are lit up here and there on the riverbank.
✅Lots of delicious restaurants!
➡️We made a reservation at a restaurant called MET. If you are not a fan of local Vietnamese food, try Vietnamese food here! ️The aroma is subdued and the seasoning is easy to accept. The quality of the food is also higher than in other areas 😎
➡️It gets quite crowded at night, so I recommend making a reservation!
📌Other recommendations
✅Silk is a local specialty
➡️I think a proper one will cost over 10,000 yen. The quality is obviously different, so you can tell when you see it, but anything under 10,000 yen is probably fake, so be careful.
✅Many tailor shops
➡️If you are staying in Hoi An for a long time, be sure to get your clothes tailored at a tailor! It is famous for being cheap for custom orders and having high quality. The silhouette and texture were clearly different from ready-made products.
✅Bargaining
➡️Many stores do not have tags. Ask the price to get a rough idea of the price. Let's bargain😎✨
Please go and check it out😉💕
