Hoi An is one of the most charming towns I’ve ever visited. Located along Vietnam’s central coast, this beautifully preserved Ancient Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, known for its winding canals, vibrant markets and rich cultural history.
I was lucky enough to spend a week there, and completely fell in love with its old-world beauty. The highlight was being there during the Lunar Lantern Festival - when the electricity is turned off in the Old Town, traffic disappears, and the streets come alive with glowing lanterns, floating candles, music, and celebration. It’s absolutely magical - like stepping into another time.
