It boasts many dazzling titles: certified by National Geographic as one of the "Top 50 Must-Visit Places in a Lifetime"; recognized for four consecutive years as the "World's Leading Heritage Destination"; and also selected by Forbes magazine as one of the "World's Six Most Beautiful Beaches"! It's comprehensively beautiful: over 800 ancient buildings have been designated as World Cultural Heritage sites; its secluded and pristine azure coastline stretches endlessly; there's a unique coconut boat experience; and at night, the colorful lanterns make it feel like stepping into a fairy tale world... Of course, there are also coffee shops every few steps, street food found throughout the streets and alleys, and lively markets. From historical heritage to natural scenery, and abundant cuisine, it has it all! Many friends might have already guessed, this is Hoi An, the most charming destination in Central Vietnam. This laid-back town harbors an ancient, mixed-heritage romance from the Maritime Silk Road. As Vietnam's earliest Chinatown, opened in the 17th century, Hoi An has undergone the baptism of various cultures, including Chinese, French, and Japanese, gathering the essence of multiple histories to form its unique style. The Guan Di incense offerings of Fujian merchants, the Sanskrit carvings on Champa stone towers, and the graceful figures in Ao Dai beneath French-style bright yellow walls, all converge here, settling into a retro film full of Nanyang charm. Moreover, prices here truly beat other Southeast Asian countries! Street coffee for 6 yuan a cup, pho for 10 yuan until you're full, and high-end French cuisine for less than 60 yuan per person... Easily achieve maximum happiness with a super low budget!
