Why are tourists so enthralled by traveling to Hoi An?
The serene and tranquil beauty behind those walls...
The ancient architectural beauty of Hoi An always entices travelers from all corners of the globe when they visit. Many 200-300-year-old ancient houses, old Chinese assembly halls, temples, and Japanese pagodas still exist... Everyone who visits Hoi An always visits these serene tourist spots.
But in fact, that ancient beauty is created from small, dark, crowded tiles, crowded together, rows of black doors with thick and thin wooden doors, and narrow, two-sided streets close to each other... making people feel both strange and familiar. Strange because there is no city like this today, familiar because the streets embrace people. But an important element that cannot be overlooked is the yellow ochre walls or the walls covered in moss that contribute to the ancient charm of the old town.
According to Mr. Ngo Thien Phong, a tour guide at Saigontourist travel company, he has brought foreign tourists to Hoi An for many years, but every time he receives the excitement and good feedback from tourists after the trip ends. Tourists especially love this place because Hoi An is still a lively city but inside, there is a deep, quiet space that always entices people to explore.
According to New York's travel photo journalist - Ms. Sivan Askayyo once wrote: Hoi An tourist destination is like the Venice of Italy but without gondolas and canals. 'There's something very surreal, sparkling when strolling along the narrow streets of Hoi An, a small city enveloped by ancient houses, with walls stained with the colors of time, adorned at night with characteristic colorful lanterns. On full moon nights, Hoi An dons a different hue, adding to its enchanting mystique.

That's the most precious thing that Hoi An aims to offer to tourists.
