Japanese Bridge, Hoi An

🌉Japanese Bridge🇯🇵Hoi An or as Vietnamese call it Lai Vien Kieu, which means the Bridge of Friendship. It got this name because this bridge was built by the Japanese community. It is a bridge built across a canal where the Japanese community settled over 400 years ago. It was built among the Chinese and Japanese villages. At the end of the bridge, there are sculptures of dogs and monkeys, symbolizing the construction that was built in the Year of the Monkey 🐒 and completed in the Year of the Dog 🐕. This bridge is also imprinted in the form of a 20,000 dong banknote 💵. #hoian #vietnam

Colorful Lanterns, Ancient Walls—Hoi An’s Timeless Charm 🎏🌅 Hoi An’s Old Town comes alive as dusk falls—lanterns glowing, riverboats drifting, and centuries-old streets inviting you to wander. Start your evening at Duc An House (129 Trần Phú, 8:00–21:00), savoring its vintage architecture and bookish vibe (perfect for quiet photos of wooden carvings and sunlight streaming through antique windows). Next, stroll towards Quan Cong Temple (24 Trần Phú) for bold reds and statement dragons—make sure to snap the ornately decorated altar for that “iconic Hoi An” shot. When the sky shifts to purple and gold, continue to the riverside for a magical night boat ride among floating lanterns. This is pure Hoi An magic! For a sunset memory, perch on the edge of the river—capture golden reflections and multi-colored lights flickering on the water (the ultimate insta-worthy moment!). Then dive into Hội An Night Market (Nguyễn Hoàng, 18:00–22:00) for street eats, vibrant lanterns, and the best souvenir shopping. Try crispy Banh Mi or fresh spring rolls as you explore. Don’t miss Bài Chòi Hội An (Old Town, 19:00–21:00) where live folk singing adds extra sparkle to your stroll. If curious about local spirituality, pass by Hội Thánh Tin Lành Việt Nam (114 Đ. Phan Chu Trinh) for quiet photo ops or a reflective moment. Tips: First-time visitors—going after sunset adds extra magic! Wear comfy shoes for cobblestone lanes, keep cash for market nibbles, and bring a light jacket (evenings can be breezy by the river). Watch your step boarding those lantern boats. #HoiAn #LanternNight #VietnamCulture #SunsetVibes #TravelAsia
