Hoi An: Where Evening Comes Alive with Lanterns! 🏮✨

Today I want to transport you to the magic of Hoi An evenings — a town that transforms beyond recognition when the sun sets. This is a place where every corner whispers stories, and the glow of lanterns creates a unique, almost fairytale-like atmosphere. Evening in Hoi An is a special ritual. People gather by the Thu Bon River to release tiny candle-lit lanterns onto the water, making wishes. ✨ It's an incredibly touching sight that fills your soul with warmth and hope. Along the river, cozy cafes and restaurants open up, where you can enjoy local delicacies like Cao Lau noodles or White Rose dumplings (Banh Bao Vac), accompanied by live music. 🍜🎷 This town seems to stand still in time, preserving its unique atmosphere and charm. An evening in Hoi An isn't just a stroll; it's an immersion into a true oriental fairytale that you'll want to experience again and again. #hoian #vietnam #hoianevening #lanterns #oldtown #atmosphere #travel #hoian #vietnamtravel

#See the Earth in an instant #Vietnam #Hoianoldtown #Ancient City I'm going to #OysterPort again this time, and of course I have to make time to go to Hoi An Ancient City again. It was already 2019, after two years or so of the epidemic, fortunately not much change. The ancient city is listed as a “World Heritage Site”, and buildings with rich history have been revitalized into restaurants, hotels or shops There is also a river in the middle, with many small boats and lanterns 🏮 placed by the river, which is especially beautiful for taking pictures at dusk 🌆. There will be a night market at night, with many stalls selling souvenirs, clothing, authentic snacks, etc Address: Hội An Market Chợ Hội An 19 Trần Phú, Cẩm Châu, Hội An, Quảng Nam, Vietnam #hkfoodie #travel #travel_2022 #vietnam #danang #hoian
