#Vietnam Travel Hoi An Japanese Bridge, or as the Vietnamese call it Lai Vien Kieu, means the Bridge of Friendship. It was named this because the bridge was built by the Japanese community. It is a bridge built across a canal where over 400 years ago, a Japanese community settled. It was built among Chinese and Japanese villages. The Japanese Bridge of Hoi An was built in 1593 and is now over 430 years old. It is a bridge made of wood and cement. Although it has been around for a long time, it is still beautiful and unique. It has become a symbol of the city. The unique characteristic of the Japanese Bridge of Hoi An is that it is a short bridge across a canal, but it is very strong. The bridge is not straight, but curves from the ground on both sides. Several large square bridge pillars support the bridge. The brickwork, the curve of the bridge and the roof are in harmony. The roof continues up to the shore. The walls are thick. There is a railing on the bridge like a balcony. In the middle of the bridge is a pagoda. According to history, it is a square pagoda built to dedicate to Dak De and Tran Vu. The roof, which is made of terracotta tiles, is an architectural style with graceful patterns in the ancient Japanese style. And 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. Currently, this bridge is being restored by UNESCO. #wattosann

When you come to Hoi An, Vietnam, you must check in at Cau Temple. This is the most famous check-in spot in Hoi An. It connects the two historical districts of the city, one is the Chinese district and the other is the Japanese district. The bridge was built by the Japanese and has a special Japanese flavor. #Vietnam

The Covered Bridge is a popular tourist spot in Hoi An✨ It is a symbol of Hoi An and is also depicted on Vietnamese banknotes. It is also called the "Japanese Bridge" because it was built by the Japanese who once moved here😌 Even though I was in Vietnam, I was able to find Japanese lanterns, which was interesting! #Vietnam #Hoi An #Overseas Travel #gw2022jp

During the day, take a leisurely stroll, admiring the well-preserved ancient streets and Chinese guild halls, and immerse yourself in the unique blend of Chinese and Vietnamese cultures. 😋My Son is also a must-see. Hoi An delicacies like high-rise noodles, white rose dumplings, and lotus tea are all signature Hoi An delicacies. At night, you can also find a riverside cafe and enjoy a drink while watching the illuminated boats—perfectly romantic! 💓 🔖 Travel Tips: 1. We strongly recommend arriving before dusk. The sunset is especially romantic. You can explore the ancient town first and then enjoy the lakeside nightscape. The lanterns are lit for the most beautiful photos. 🏮 2. Some areas of the ancient town require tickets, so be sure to prepare some Vietnamese Dong. 💵 (We didn't buy any tickets this time; just strolling around the town was already breathtakingly beautiful.) 3. Summer weather can be hot, so remember to bring water, sunscreen, and light clothing. ☀️ Hoi An Ancient Town is more than just a tourist attraction; it's a journey through time, definitely worth savoring! 🌏 One day isn't enough.

Hoi An Ancient Town, Vietnam | Chùa Cầu Bridge: A Century-Old Covered Bridge Where Japanese and Vietnamese Cultures Meet, Quietly Preserving the Ancient City's Prosperity and Transcendence Among the many landmarks of Hoi An Ancient Town, the Chùa Cầu Bridge (Chùa Cầu) stands out. Built in the early 17th century by Japanese immigrants, this wooden bridge is also known as the "Japanese Bridge." It serves not only as a bridge for transportation but also as a symbol of cultural exchange. The bridge is constructed of solid wood and bluestone, with a tiled roof and intricate carvings along its sides. Inside, a porch enshrines the Bac Tai, the God of War, praying for good weather and safe journeys. Walking across the bridge, one feels the weight of history, as if every plank bears the footprints and stories of merchants and travelers. At dusk, lanterns are lit, and the Chùa Cầu Bridge's silhouette is reflected on the river, like a scene frozen in time. Quietly spanning the stream of the ancient town, it has witnessed centuries of prosperity and transformation in Hoi An.

Hoi An Ancient Town, Vietnam | Evening Stroll: Encounter the Gentleness of the Ancient City in the Lights of the Alleys As dusk falls, stepping into Hoi An Ancient Town, the atmosphere begins to transform. The bustle of the day gradually fades, and the streets are bathed in golden and orange hues by the setting sun. The ancient walls and mottled wooden windows appear particularly charming in this soft light and shadow. The ancient town is perfect for a stroll at this time. Pedestrians slow their pace, chatting outside lantern-draped shops or strolling quietly along the Thu Bon River. The light of the newly lit lanterns reflects on the river, and a gentle breeze caresses your face, making even time seem to slow down. A stroll in Hoi An is more than just a part of travel; it's a kind of solace. You can capture the street lights with your eyes and feel the centuries-old atmosphere of this ancient city with your heart.

📍Trip Overview Hoi An is a charming, charming, and vibrant city. The colorful buildings reflect the unique Vietnamese identity, blending harmoniously. Delicious food and a wide selection of cafes are available both day and night. The laid-back Vietnamese atmosphere is truly captivating, with cozy chairs and cute little chairs, basking in the glow of the city's lanterns. The food is sure to please Thais, and every corner of Hoi An is a must-see for a chic, chill photo opportunity. 🚩Travel Directions Fly directly from Bangkok to Da Nang Airport, then take Grab to Hoi An, which takes 45–60 minutes (the most convenient). For transportation during the trip, Grab is available, offering great value. Alternatively, if you prefer walking or cycling, the hotel offers rentals. 🏖️ Must-Visit Attractions - Take a basket boat ride, enjoying the fun and authentic fishing lifestyle. - Hoi An Old Town: Stroll around the colorful buildings during the day. And the lantern lights at night are a must-see highlight. 🍜Recommended Food Pause and Enjoy Restaurant: Vietnamese food with a great atmosphere, good service, and delicious flavors. The pork wrapped in leaves (not sure what it's called), my friends and I, are a big fan. It's a must-try street food spot. And don't forget to check in at Mot, Hoi An's famous drink shop. 🏠Recommended Accommodation We stayed at De An Hotel, which was great, reasonably priced, and not as busy as the old town center. The hotel even has a swimming pool. #VietnamTravel #HoiAn

Hoi An Ancient Town, Vietnam | Leisurely Moments Before Dusk: Sit Down and Slow Down with the Ancient Town Before night falls, Hoi An Ancient Town offers a distinctly different atmosphere from the bustling atmosphere after the lanterns are lit. The yellow walls reflect the setting sun, and the streets are devoid of the daytime bustle, replaced by a gentle, leisurely atmosphere. Music wafts from the doorways of small shops, and groups of people gather in cafes, chatting or quietly reading. A gentle breeze drifts along the riverbank, and even though the lanterns haven't yet been fully lit, the gentleness of approaching night is already faintly revealed. In this atmosphere, it's tempting to sit down, order a cup of coffee or a refreshing iced coconut drink, and simply enjoy a moment of rest. Everything before you is unplanned, allowing travelers to slow down and experience the authentic atmosphere of the ancient town.

Hoi An Ancient Town, Da Nang, Vietnam | The Chùa Cầu Bridge: A Quiet Japanese-Style Bridge, a Witness to Transcendence and Time Among the many historic buildings in Hoi An Ancient Town, the Chùa Cầu (Japanese Covered Bridge) is undoubtedly one of the most iconic landmarks. Built in the 17th century by Japanese merchants, it connects neighborhoods on both sides of the river. For centuries, it has served not only as a vital transportation hub but also as a witness to cultural exchange and historical change. Mostly constructed of wood, the Chùa Cầu Bridge features a tiled roof and intricate carvings. Stone statues of monkeys and dogs guard each end, symbolizing the passage of time. A small shrine dedicated to the North Pole Xuantian God stands in the center of the bridge, symbolizing the protection of the bridge and passersby. During the day, visitors flock to the bridge, and its rustic charm contrasts with the yellow walls and green windows on both sides, imbued with a sense of history. At night, illuminated by lights, the Chùa Cầu Bridge's reflection in the Thu Bon River creates an even more tranquil and romantic scene.

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

🌟 Hoi An is one of the places I can return to many times and still feel new. The small old town, the yellow walls, the mossy tiled roofs and the colorful lanterns make people want to walk forever. 🌿 And every time I come to Hoi An, I cannot miss Mot water - a cool herbal drink, fragrant with lemongrass, chrysanthemum and lotus leaves. It's that simple, but drinking it while walking in the old town is a very "cool" feeling. I've been to Hoi An twice, and every time I love this drink, I consider it a "ritual" when I return here. 🚶♀️ Take a leisurely walk in the morning when the street is not too crowded, watch the sunset on the Hoai River in the afternoon, release flower lanterns at night, every moment in Hoi An has its own charm. ✨ For me, Hoi An is not just a destination, but a place that makes me feel lighter and more peaceful every time I visit. I keep going, but I still don't get bored. 🏷️ #hoian #nuocmot #phoco #vietnamtravel

#vietnamtrip 📍 #HoiAnNights #RiverOfLight #TravelWithSoul There’s a night in Hoi An when the city softens. When streets fall silent. When lanterns glow like old friends. And the river becomes your mirror. We released floating paper lanterns with candles — each one carrying a wish. One by one. Like letting go of thoughts you no longer need. Standing there, watching the lights drift down the water, I thought: “I’m not in Venice. But somehow, I feel just as enchanted.” If you're searching for a moment where time pauses… Come here. Set your wish free. And let the river remind you how to dream again. The ride costs around VND 170,000 per 15-20 min, 2-3 people on board , and believe me — it's worth every penny. It’s not just a boat trip. It’s a quiet celebration of calm, culture, and connection. 📸 Don’t forget your camera — this is pure magic. 📍 #HoiAnDreams #LanternMagic #SoutheastAsiaWhispers #CoffeeAndCulture #WanderlustInAsia #LiveTheMoment #FloatingWishes
