"If you come to Hoi An in one day, don't just go to the old town because there are many other beautiful places", said Dao Linh, a Hanoi tourist.
Here is the suggestion of Dao Linh, doing business in Hanoi, about the fun schedule in Hoi An from 6am to 6pm.
6:30-7h: Take a walk and drink coffee in the old town. At this time, Hoi An has a peaceful and simple beauty with street vendors, cyclos pedaling slowly or waiting for customers on the roadside. "Everyone remembers to ride a bike, ride a bike around and enjoy the cool breeze," Linh said.
As a travel enthusiast, eager to explore and enjoy the beauty everywhere, as long as there is an opportunity and free time, Linh is ready to pack up and go. The young girl comes to Da Nang - Hoi An almost once a year, and each time stays for one to two months. "The most beautiful old town is early morning and late afternoon, you should visit at these two times", the female tourist "understands Hoi An like the palm of your hand".
7:00-8:00 is the time for resting, having breakfast and sipping coffee, after wandering around looking at the street, taking pictures for an hour. The address Linh suggested is to eat Cao Lau at Thanh restaurant in Thai Phien, and to 92 Station (pictured), Tran Phu street to sit and sip drinks. According to the evaluation of female tourists, the above coffee place took beautiful early morning photos. If you want to shoot in the afternoon, Linh suggests Faifo, also in Tran Phu.
8:00am - 10:00am: arrive at the seven-acre coconut forest, 4-5 km away. Visitors can go on their own or on a tour. Linh's group rented a motorbike by themselves, went to the coconut forest to rent a basket boat, costing about 150,000 VND.
Having set foot in 63 provinces and cities, Ly Son island is Linh's favorite place and Hoi An is probably the place she visits and stays the most.
12h-16: At noon, the group moves to An Bang beach, more than 4 km away, to rest and have lunch. After that, everyone stopped at Deck House (pictured) to drink water, priced from 70,000 VND a glass. Linh chose this place because of the beautiful decoration. However, she suggests people should order drinks instead of coconut water, because the drinks prepared here are better.
If you want to swim in the sea, you can go to Dolphin Kitchen or Soul Kitchen, 300-400 meters away, the sand is wide, beautiful and few people, more private. "The shops here all have their own bathing areas and prepare towels for guests, very clean and polite," Linh said.
16h-17h: After bathing, everyone eat clam porridge at a nearby restaurant, or order seafood as you like.
After that, the female tourist returned to Hoi An, took sunset photos at a coffee shop on Tran Phu street, took a boat on the river and took pictures with lanterns.
"Lanterns taken at dusk are the most beautiful. Don't let it get completely dark and then the photos are not as good," shared a Hanoi female tourist. After that, her group went to dinner with chicken rice and returned to the hotel to rest.
Having set foot in 9 countries and territories around the world, Linh has many opportunities to experience the food and beautiful scenery of the places she visits. However, she still enjoys traveling to Vietnam because of its beautiful scenery, friendly people, and delicious food. Da Nang - Hoi An is one of such places. The only "minus" in Linh's eyes is that tourist spots in Vietnam still have a lot of garbage, and tourists still have no sense of keeping general hygiene. In the near future, the young girl plans to go abroad after spending time at home because of Covid-19. "If nothing changes, I want to go to Morocco next September or October," she said.
