At dusk, Hội An lights up with silken lanterns, their reflections dancing on the calm waters of the Thu Bồn river. Behind the ochre façades weathered by time, merchant houses hold artisan workshops, fragrant cafés, art galleries and tailors with precise hands.
Strolling through the old port means going back centuries, to when junks and caravels called at this crossroads of silk, spices and porcelain. By day, the markets come alive with vivid colors, among fresh herbs, golden mangoes and the scent of cao lầu, the emblematic dish combining thick noodles with woodsmoke undertones.
As evening falls, Hội An becomes a cinematic backdrop: gondolas gliding under candlelight, soft music and the scent of jasmine. A living museum-town, it charms with its grace.
The old town of Hoi An is particularly well preserved. It is a unique place where several cultures blend together: Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese and European.
Stop by Daisu Silk. In the back of the shop, you can watch the weavers at work.
