Don't underestimate Hoi An's charm, thinking it's small and there's nothing to do or eat. Let's explore an interesting side of Hoi An through a 3-day-2-night itinerary recommended by Mytour.
Immerse yourself in the rich culture and flavors of Hoi An with a carefully planned 3-day-2-night itinerary.
Day 1
Arrive at Da Nang airport and transfer to Hoi An with complimentary hotel shuttle service. After checking in, take some time to relax and then explore and enjoy the beach at Cua Dai. The recently restored sandy shores make it an ideal spot for relaxation and ocean views.
In the afternoon, visit ancient houses, spiritual and social landmarks to learn about the life and culture of the people in Hoi An. Quang Dong Assembly Hall, Phuc Kien Assembly Hall, Tan Ky Ancient House, Phung Hung House, Quan Thang House, Cau Pagoda, Ong Pagoda, Tran Family Chapel, and Sa Huynh Museum are iconic heritage sites along Hoi An's streets.
Afterwards, if you have some time, you can visit and learn pottery in Thanh Ha pottery village, located along the Thu Bon River, in Thanh Ha ward, Hoi An city, about 2km west of the ancient town. In the 16th and 17th centuries, Thanh Ha was a prosperous village, renowned for its pottery products and clay traded across the central provinces of Vietnam. The pottery craft originated from Thanh Hoa and, after absorbing some technical expertise, evolved into the pottery village it is today. When visiting the craft village, besides witnessing the artistic talent of the craftsmen, tourists can also be guided to create traditional handmade products themselves.
In the evening, you can take a stroll to admire the ancient town at night, immerse yourself in interesting activities such as boat rides on the Hoai River, releasing lanterns, watching traditional performances, buying souvenirs, and many other fascinating things to do in just one night, and these activities are not expensive at all.
Day 2: Explore Cu Lao Cham
Cu Lao Cham belongs to Tan Hiep, Hoi An, Quang Nam, 15 km from Cua Dai Beach. This archipelago consists of 8 islands: Hon Lao, Dai, Mo, Kho Me, Kho Con, La, Tai, Ong. Many tourists, after exploring the ancient Hoi An, often come to this island cluster to enjoy the peaceful and pristine beauty of nature. To explore Cu Lao Cham, you can book a daily tour (priced at around 600,000 VND) or explore on your own.
In addition to beautiful beaches, Cu Lao Cham also has many interesting tourist attractions that you shouldn't miss, such as the Cu Lao Cham Maritime Museum, Cham Ancient Well, Hai Tang Pagoda, Tan Hiep Market, Yen Craft Village Temple, and more. Apart from seafood like stone crabs and squid, abalone, swallow's nest, and wild vegetables are also delicious specialties you should try when visiting here.
In the afternoon, return to the ancient town. You can choose a few coffee shops to relax, such as Cocobana (16 Nguyen Thai Hoc), Chu Chu (74 Tran Phu), Cocobox (94 Le Loi), Hoi An Roastery (135 Tran Phu), Reaching Out (131 Tran Phu). If you want to enjoy coffee and admire the ancient town in the late afternoon, The Chef (166 Tran Phu) or Faifo Coffee are the best places to go.
On the 3rd day
Rise early to admire the ancient town in the morning. The moment when the old town prepares for a bustling day is a moment you should not miss when visiting Hoi An.
