Beautiful corners of Hoi An that not every tourist sees

Despite experiencing many historical ups and downs, this place still retains almost intact its old beauty with moss stains on every roof tile, brick, tree row, road...

Hoi An ancient town is located in the lower Thu Bon river, in the coastal plain of Quang Nam province, about 30 km from Da Nang city.

Hoi An used to be a bustling international trading port, a meeting place for Japanese, Chinese and Western merchant ships during the 17th and 18th centuries. Therefore, most of the houses in the old town have traditional architecture with 2 - 3 floors and tiled roofs. This architecture helps the houses in Hoi An become airy, filled with sunlight, bringing a free and comfortable life to the locals and enjoyment to the experiences of tourists.

During the rainy months, green moss grows on the ancient roofs and walls. At this time, Hoi An is unmistakably beautiful.

The narrow alleys are also covered with moss in the wet months of the year. However, the best time to visit Hoi An is from February to April every year because that is when the weather is most pleasant. There is little rain, the sun is not too hot, the space is airy and pleasant.

Seen from above, the old town is arranged horizontally and vertically in a chessboard pattern with short, winding streets embracing the houses. Walking through each of these small and peaceful streets, visitors can not only enjoy delicious food but also admire a part of the daily life of the people of Hoi An.

In addition to its architectural features, what makes Hoi An always win the hearts of tourists is its peaceful atmosphere during the day and bustling but not chaotic atmosphere in the evening.

Although it is a developed tourist city, Hoi An still maintains its tranquility and peace with the clattering sound of bicycles, instead of the noisy, hurried sound of engines.
