In an era where modern life becomes extremely popular, and no one or no city can escape, it's the advanced smartphones dominating life, or the modern skyscrapers popping up every year. But, when people are living too fast, too rushed, they may crave for things to slow down, to relieve the pressure of life. So don't hesitate, come to Hoi An to feel the rhythm of life.
Lanterns - ancient items with a modern breath
It's impossible to criticize anything here when night falls. The colorful lanterns emit a strange, warm, gentle yellow light. Ancient items have been modernized with increasingly exquisite colors and materials. The lantern story is passed down from generation to generation, seemingly never fading. Walking in Hoi An to admire the most beautiful lanterns is probably along the banks of the Hoai River. Just walk slowly, enjoy the passing breeze, and immerse yourself in the sparkling light of the lanterns, the poetic life of the ancient poets must have been just like this.
Hoi An Lantern Street
Release lanterns
A activity that if you miss when traveling to Hoi An, it's truly regrettable. Watching movies, admiring the girls in ancient costumes releasing beautiful lanterns cannot compare to actually releasing one yourself. Holding a sparkling lantern in your hand, then releasing it into the water, the wishes sent with the lantern may have gone far, but the residual aura remains, making you not regret but wanting to release another one.
The refined pleasure of Hoi An people
Boating on the Hoai River
It seems that the subtle aspects of Hoi An are all from when night falls. But those pleasures are already captivating, just by looking at them, like boating on the Hoai River. Don't rush to admire Venice in Italy, because if you have the chance to take a boat ride on the Hoai River and with the simple, rustic boatmen with warm smiles, you will realize that our country has such beautiful places. Furthermore, boating while releasing lanterns, there's probably nothing like it.
Hoi An impresses and surprises people with its steadfastness against modern storms. Admiring the old streets, looking at the families that have lived here for centuries, and experiencing old but completely new experiences, eating old dishes that never change in flavor, all of that is enough to make your days in Hoi An the most meaningful. Of course, Hoi An has many more pleasures, but let me tell you about them on a fine day!
