Hội An exudes tranquility and charm during autumn days.

The autumn sky brings with it the essence of seasonal transition saturating the streets of Hội An, rejuvenating its familiar scenery into a lively spectacle.

Hội An emanates a refreshing and captivating ambiance during autumn days.

Hội An is a destination that's no stranger to both domestic and international travelers, always captivating visitors with its serene and familiar beauty, and refreshing, cool weather during autumn. Walking down the streets, wandering through the ancient alleys, everyone is excited and eager as they notice the distinct change in weather.

The streets of Hội An remain familiar whether you're a newcomer or returning after several years. The winding narrow alleys, the ancient yellow-walled houses along Trần Phú, Nguyễn Trãi, Hoàng Văn Thụ... still retain their charming ancient allure.

When visiting Hội An, wake up early, step onto the streets to admire the dawn, take a solitary walk along the streets to embrace the morning atmosphere, relax and embrace the peace before the urban bustle begins. That feeling will stay with you, for a long time. You'll feel even more serene when you happen to come here in autumn, a season without festivals or any special commemorations.

The autumn mornings here, although sunny, carry a slight chill. The autumn leaves gently fall on the window frames of ancient houses, the sky becomes spacious and strangely expansive, no longer the sweltering heat and suffocation of summer. Hội An appears gentle and charming amidst the leisurely, bustling sightseeing crowd.

On the streets of Hội An, early in the morning, there's a constant stream of people, bustling along the roads with vendors carrying typical Hội An street food for breakfast. Smoke rises and the aroma awakens the appetite of anyone passing by. I found a Quảng noodle shop named CT on Thái Phiên Street. It looks simple yet clean, and the Quảng noodles are delicious, priced at only 15,000 VND. While paying, out of curiosity, I asked the shop owner what CT stands for, and she replied that CT is short for Cẩm Thanh, turns out she's from Cẩm Thanh. Leaving the shop, along Thái Phiên, Phan Chu Trinh, Nguyễn Huệ streets... you can find various breakfast options ranging from cao lầu, bread, Quảng noodles, sticky rice, chicken rice, xiêm cake, fried dough sticks... priced from 10,000 to 15,000 VND.

Whenever you're in Hội An, don't miss out on trying the famous cao lầu at Alley 69 Phan Chu Trinh. Also, there's authentic Bà Buội chicken rice here. Particularly, the simple yet renowned Madame Khánh bread shop on Trần Cao Vân Street is a must-visit, where backpackers often recommend each other, 'if you don't go to Khánh's when in Hội An, it's like you've not been here at all'.

Sitting and enjoying a cup of coffee in a Chinese-style café on Trần Phú Street, listening to gentle Trịnh music, admiring the peaceful scenery, the old town's landscape is no longer silent, but vibrant. The space also brings along a gentle breeze as if to add more freshness, liveliness to the street.

The primary modes of transportation now are cyclos, bicycles, motorcycles... but walking on the streets of Hội An is the most interesting choice. Although it's tiring, you can explore and admire the small alleys on Phan Chu Trinh Street, Trầm Phố Market... There are also many tourists opting for cyclos to tour around the old town, Hoai River... to enjoy the autumn morning scenery, visit fashion stores, souvenir shops, and fully experience the autumn atmosphere in the heart of the old town.

The traditional market is located right at the center 'upstream of Chùa Cầu, downstream of Âm Bồn River'. The intact relic still retains its ancient charm, bustling not only with buyers and sellers but also attracting many tourists to come and explore, stroll around, admire the scenery... to the food area in the market to enjoy the essence of Vietnamese cuisine right in the heart of Hội An with affordable, authentic street food dishes, rich in urban flavors, bold tastes such as cao lầu, bread, beef noodle soup, sticky rice.

The food stalls are neatly arranged along the pathways in the food area, offering a variety of dishes, beverages, and desserts. Tourists can indulge in post-meal treats at the market, where food stalls serve from early morning until late at night.

After a weary day of walking, rent a cyclo to tour around the streets and enjoy the refreshing autumn breeze. When the streets light up, it's bustling with people strolling, having coffee, shopping, or simply wandering along the streets, immersing in the autumn atmosphere enveloping the old town of Hội An. Hội An is most beautiful in the evening. If you want liveliness, you should stroll down Hội Street at dusk because after around 10 pm, the eateries, fashion stores... have closed, returning the inherent tranquility to Hội Street.

On the 14th day of each lunar month, all of Hội An's streets will turn off the streetlights and light up lanterns. You will witness the dazzling beauty of the illuminated lanterns, covering the entire town, especially on the Hoai River, Thu Bon River, where the lanterns create a sparkling, mysterious, and incredibly fascinating atmosphere.
