ホイアン エンシェント タウン - 夜のナイト マーケット ストリート フード ツアー

It was a fun time in Hoi An. The guide, Kevin, was very cheerful and followed me through various things.

We enjoyed sampling different types of Vietnamese food with Jun our guide. She did her best with the trip as during the tour there was a storm. The night market is a fun place to wander around in.

This was our free day on the tour, and we spent it exploring the ancient town markets, wandering through vibrant stalls, buying souvenirs and soaking in the charm of Hội An. As the sun set, the town transformed - and suddenly, we found ourselves living inside a scene straight out of Disney’s Tangled. It genuinely felt like stepping into a fairytale. The highlight of the evening was the floating lanterns that illuminated the Thu Bồn River. As night fell, hundreds of colourful lanterns drifted gently across the water, casting shimmering reflections that danced beneath the historic bridges. The riverbanks glowed with warm light from lantern shops, each one displaying handcrafted designs in every colour imaginable. Locals and travellers gathered along the water, releasing lanterns with quiet wishes, creating a magical atmosphere that felt both intimate and celebratory. The soft glow, the gentle movement of the river and the hum of music and laughter made the entire experience unforgettable - romantic, peaceful and deeply symbolic of Hội An’s cultural soul. It was a night that captured everything special about Hội An Ancient Town - beauty, tradition, community and a touch of magic. A perfect way to spend a day to ourselves.

Unlike the dynamic Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, Hoi An Old Town seems to aside from the busy development of the country, remaining its ancient beauty from its roads to its architectural works. About 30km south of Da Nang city, and roughly 120 km from Hue, Hoi An old town is really a great place to really get up close and personal with the real Vietnam, her people and past as well.

A wonderful cozy town with a nice vibe. Exploring the ancient town was a wonderful experience. Recommend a stay for atleast 2-3 days.

An absolute must visit, one of a kind experience, which I feel is very difficult to get and the market and food was awesome here.

At night, overcrowded, Disney-esque riverside, everywhere hustlers nipping at your pockets. I couldn’t wait to get away. Really, the hope and expectation was huge, the reality a sad let down. It has all the charm of an overcrowded Venice.

OMG..,if you love Disneyland you might like the crush and extreme commercialism of Hoi An old town at night. We tourists are killing it. Garish, noisey, saturated with humanity…such a pity. UNESCO needs to take another look. In the early morning it’s another place altogether… my advice quickly move in, look and leave for calmer waters.,.

You should watch his valuables, my wife would have her wrist chain stolen. Only trimmed to touristism. Not recommended.

Such a small place yet so BEAUTIFUL at night. A lot of great stuff to buy, in a very cheap price, with friendly sellers (they even give freebies) so amazing people! As we continue to enjoy the night, while walking, we saw a girl selling colorful floating candles. So, we bought a few, made a wish as we light it, and let it flow along the river. It was so amazing seeing so many people making wishes that light up the river at night! While killing time, we stopped by a cafe along the road, had great desserts and hot drinks, as we watch people enjoying the boat ride and the colorful lanterns.
