Hoi An Ancient Town is located in Quang Nam Province in central Vietnam. It is conveniently located and only takes about 1.5 hours to drive from Da Nang. The ancient town is well preserved, and the ancient buildings show the fusion of Chinese, French and local Vietnamese styles. It was listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1999. It is famous for its quiet streets, colorful lanterns and long history and culture. The lanterns are lit at night, and the scenery is like a dream. The local food is rich, and the specialties such as lanterns and Ao Dai are also quite distinctive. It is an excellent place to experience Vietnam's traditional culture and history.
Hoi An Ancient Town is located in central Vietnam, 30 kilometers from the seaside in Da Nang. Since you have come to Da Nang, you must not miss Hoi An Ancient Town.
Hoi An Ancient Town is not only rated as "one of the 50 places you must visit in your life" by National Geographic, but also a "World Cultural and Natural Heritage" recognized by UNESCO.
It is estimated that it will take 45-50 minutes to take a Grab from Da Nang city to Hoi An Ancient Town. The estimated fare is 320,000 VND. You can directly select the destination [Hoi An Ancient Town].
Attractions: You can check in at "Confucius Temple - Fabao Temple - Laiyuan Bridge - Guangzhao Guild Hall - Li Clan Ancestral Hall - Zhonghua Guild Hall - Fujian Guild Hall - Hainan Guild Hall - Chaozhou Guild Hall" and other places to experience the long-standing traditional Chinese culture of overseas Chinese.
Tickets: The ancient city is free, but you have to pay to visit designated attractions. You can buy a combined ticket, which costs 80,000 VND to visit 3 attractions, and 120,000 VND to visit 5 attractions. Tickets are free during the Spring Festival.
There are almost no people in Hoi An Ancient Town in the morning, but there will be a lot of people in the afternoon. It will be even more crowded after dark, and most of the people are concentrated on both sides of the Thu Bon River. When the lights come on, there are all kinds of lanterns on both sides of the Thu Bon River, which is really beautiful. You can take a river boat and release lanterns here.
If time permits, it is highly recommended to stay for one night. You can choose a B&B by the Thu Bon River, which is very quiet and a 5-minute walk from the ancient city.
When you come to Hoi An, there is another must-do activity - the coconut boat. Hoi An Canaan Island is famous for its natural scenery of water coconut groves. Take a coconut boat and leisurely pass through the lush coconut groves. During the 45-minute boat ride, the boatman will take you through the narrow river, get close to the lush water coconut forest, and watch the coconut boat rotating performance. It is well worth it.

The show is a must try in Hoian, it an easy 10/10 and the best outdoor show I have ever seen. The scale is very massive, and every part of it just beautiful and tells an amazing story. Highly recommend
The Hoi An Memories show completely exceeded my expectations. The scale of the production is massive, with hundreds of performers, beautiful lighting, traditional costumes, and a moving storyline that brings the history of Hoi An to life. The outdoor stage is set against a breathtaking riverside backdrop, making it a truly immersive experience. It’s both entertaining and educational—perfect for visitors of all ages. If you’re in Hoi An, this show is an absolute must-see!

И шоу и сам парк однозначно заслуживает внимания. Всё очень грандиозно и глобально. Искренне рекомендую к посещению!
Шок воспоминаний - это то, что посетить обязательно! Если есть возможность - выбирайте VIP сектор, вход без очередей и лучший обзор.

When you arrive at the village, there will be people asking if you have booked a ticket, just tell them Hanh coconut and someone will show you the destination. Checked in was pretty easy. The staff just verify your ticket and you can board the boat immediately, don't have to wait. Since I'm traveling alone, I have the whole boat to myself. Compare to the usual boat ride, this coconut boat made from bamboo, can be a little wobbly than usual cause it is round. The whole atmosphere was pretty lively with some paddlers being very energetic. You just need to join in. There are shows: throwing fishing net and the famous boat spin, which the paddler will kindly notify you. The paddler is also very kind and helpful to help you take photos and videos. Hat non la, umbrella, life jacket are all provided. The whole ride is about 30-40mins depending on the extra activities you joined.
The coconut boat is a unique boat in Vietnam, so you must experience it. The whole journey takes 45 minutes, and the scene is particularly shocking. Generally, there are 2 people/boat, and you can bargain. If you are not familiar with it, you can choose to buy tickets online, which is not easy to step on the trap.
Go at 4 pm, it will be very sunny if you go too early. After the tour, rush to the ancient town of Hoi An, where you can watch a sunset, which is particularly beautiful.
Hoi An is more expensive than Da Nang in terms of food, accommodation and transportation, but the one-way fare from Da Nang to Hoi An is more than 100 yuan, and you can charter a car for a round trip of about 180 yuan, but the driver will introduce you to the attractions on the bus, just ignore it.

Прекрасное место лля отдыха. 4 зоны для развлечения: водный мир-аквапарки, парк аттракционов, остров с животным миром, где можно побывать на сафари и покормить жирафа и парк с культурными ценностями
Tum gun gecirebileceginiz harika bir yer. Da Nang ve Hoi An Dan sabah 09.00 da ucretsiz servis var. Aksam da 18.00 de servis geri goturuyor ucretsiz. Yemekli almanizi tavsiye ederim. Iceride fiyatlar ucuz bu arada, isterseniz iceride de yemek yenilebilir.
