Not as bustling as summer, Hoi An during this time of the year is characterized by serene rain.
5 Reasons to Head to Hoi An During the Rainy Season
Affordable Ticket Prices
During the pre-Tet period, Hoi An usually experiences scattered showers instead of storms or floods, making it an ideal time to enjoy the calm and quiet atmosphere. Moreover, airlines often offer promotional deals to attract tourists during this time, resulting in fairly cheap prices. With a bit of online searching, round-trip tickets can cost as little as 600,000 to 1.5 million dong.
Attractive Hotel, Guesthouse, and Homestay Prices
As it's the rainy season, not the peak tourist season, many hotels and guesthouses offer significant discounts to attract visitors. Therefore, room rates are quite comfortable, with homestays around $10 and hotels starting from $20 per room.
Pleasant, Refreshing Climate
While the northern regions endure harsh winters with prolonged cold spells, Hoi An boasts a much more pleasant climate. For those seeking to escape the bone-chilling cold up north or the scorching heat down south, Hoi An proves to be an ideal destination.
Experience the Serenity of the Ancient Town Without the Crowds
Since it's not the peak tourist season, the majority of visitors to Hoi An during this time are foreigners. There aren't many Vietnamese tourists here at this time of the year. Consequently, the ancient town becomes more tranquil and less crowded. Travelers can leisurely explore the centuries-old streets on foot or by bicycle.
You might come across couples strolling hand in hand amidst the drizzle gently falling on the ancient streets, amidst the romantic ambiance of rain and incense. It's no wonder that foreign magazines have voted Hoi An as one of the top 10 most romantic destinations in the world.
Embrace the Winter Seascape
You can sit and admire the vast coastline devoid of any human presence, or cozy up in a seaside café, sipping on a hot cup of tea, reading a book, and savoring the chilly, salty air of the boundless sea – a delightful moment that many travelers find enchanting when they come here.
