Hoi An really took me by surprise. I had seen photos of it before, but being there in person was something else. The whole place felt calm, colorful, and full of charm—like stepping into a storybook.
When I first arrived in Hoi An, I felt like I had stepped into a fairy tale. The lantern-lit streets looked so beautiful at night, glowing like colorful gems. It’s easy to see why this town is loved by so many—it has everything: history, culture, and lots of relaxing things to do.
One of my favorite parts of the trip was taking a cooking class. It wasn’t just about learning recipes—it was about understanding the culture through food. We went to a local market to pick ingredients, then cooked tasty Vietnamese dishes with help from kind and friendly chefs. It was fun, and the food was delicious!
I also visited the My Son Temple, an old place from the Champa Kingdom. The ruins were calm and beautiful, and it felt like the stones were still holding stories from the past. If you love old places and history, this is worth visiting.
In the evening, I went on a serene boat ride under the Japanese Bridge. Floating on the quiet river with the town lights reflecting on the water was such a peaceful moment. It made me appreciate Hoi An’s timeless beauty even more.
When the sun sets, Hoi An’s quaint alleys come to life. The vibrant lanterns shine brighter, riverside markets get busy, and cultural performances take place. It feels like a little festival every night—so joyful and colorful!
After all the exploring, it was amazing to relax at the luxurious Anantara Resort. The rooms were cozy and beautiful, and the staff were very helpful. It was the perfect place to rest after a long day.
