Did you know the iconic landmark on Vietnam’s 20,000 dong note is the Japanese Covered Bridge in Hoi An? 🏯✨ Built in the 17th century by Japanese merchants, it symbolizes the blend of Japanese, Chinese, and Vietnamese cultures. Visiting this bridge feels like stepping into the note itself — full of history, charm, and beauty. Don’t miss this must-see spot when exploring the lantern-lit streets of Hoi An! 🇻🇳💛 #hoian #vietnam #travel

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
