Hoi An Vietnam Vintage Travel ラウンドシール

Hoi An, a charming coastal town in central Vietnam, is famous for its well-preserved ancient town, colorful lanterns, and unique blend of Vietnamese, Chinese, and Japanese architecture. Once a thriving trading port from the 15th to 19th centuries, Hoi An was an important hub for merchants from all over Asia and Europe. Today, its historic streets, wooden shophouses, and iconic Japanese Covered Bridge make it one of Vietnam’s most beautiful and culturally rich destinations. At night, the town comes alive with thousands of lanterns reflecting on the Thu Bon River, creating a magical and romantic atmosphere. Beyond its historical charm, Hoi An is also known for its traditional tailor shops, where visitors can get custom-made clothing within a day. The town is a paradise for food lovers, offering specialties like Cao Lầu (a noodle dish with pork and crispy croutons) and Bánh Mì, one of the best Vietnamese sandwiches. Just a short bike ride away, An Bang Beach provides a relaxing escape with golden sands and clear waters. Hoi An is also famous for its full moon lantern festival, held every month, where electric lights are turned off, and the town glows with candlelit lanterns floating down the river. Whether exploring its historic streets, cycling through rice fields, or enjoying its vibrant markets, Hoi An offers a perfect mix of culture, history, and relaxation.
