It's a nice beach with fine sand. I went there during week days so it wasn't busy. The beach is clean and water temperature is perfect to cool down. There are a few vendors trying to sell you stuff but they are very polite and might have a quick chat with you.

The Japanese Bridge, located in Hoi An Ancient Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the most fascinating cultural attractions in Vietnam. Built in the 17th century, this monument has witnessed many changes in the town. If you come to Hoi An, it is a must-visit. The Japanese Bridge is called Chua Cau Bridge in Vietnamese. It was built by Japanese merchants to connect with the Chinese neighborhood. It was built for communication and connections and has a very important meaning. The Japanese Bridge in Hoi An is considered a beautiful representation of the town’s long history. For centuries, this bridge has connected the past, present, and future. In 1719, Lord Nguyen Phuc Chu visited Hoi An and inscribed the name “Lai Vien Kieu” in three characters at the entrance of the bridge. This means “Lai Vien Kieu” in Vietnamese and “Bridge to Welcome Guests from Far Away” in English. Also, because this tower was mainly built by the Japanese, it was named the "Japanese Bridge" or "Japanese Covered Bridge." Although it is commonly called the "Japanese Bridge," it is a unique combination of Vietnamese, Japanese, and Chinese cultures in terms of building materials, design, patterns, and decorations. On February 17, 1990, this bridge was designated as a national historic and cultural heritage. There are a dog and a monkey at the entrance and exit of the bridge, respectively. These two statues symbolize the guardian deities of the bridge, as they symbolize protection and safety in Japanese culture. It is also said that these two statues mean that the construction began in the Year of the Monkey and was completed in the Year of the Dog. Various cafes and restaurants have been built on both sides of the street centered around the Japanese Bridge, utilizing old and quaint houses. The old cultural heritage of Hoi An (UNESCO World Heritage) and the appearance of the ancient city still remain along the street. There are many unique cafes and restaurants here. There are also many shops selling traditional specialties, handmade products, and souvenirs on the street. And there are various galleries of various genres gathered here. This street was also a place where trade between Vietnam and Japan was active in the 17th century. It is a place with many things to see, so I recommend you visit. Unlike the daytime, the nighttime scenery is also breathtakingly beautiful.

Visited this historic house in Hoi An’s ancient town, filled with antiques and traditional furnishings. It’s incredible to see how well preserved it is, especially considering the regular flooding in the area. The markings on the wall showing previous flood levels were especially striking. Hard to believe the house has stood through it all.

Really peaceful, and quiet beach. There are few people and the beach is beautiful.. white sandy beaches much better than those at A Bang Beach. Lounges and umbrellas are available along the beaches at a fee. I paid about VND 50k to use a lounger which is highly recommended if you do not want to be roasted by the scorching sun. Toilets are available for shower. In my opinion, can just skip An Bang beach and come here instead if you want to avoid the crowds.

We went on a tour with a speed boat and a small group of around 20 people. We did some sightseeing, then we went snorkelling, and stayed an hour at this beach, where the monkeys joined our lunch. We had lots of fun!

Beautiful place to visit especially during the Moon festival! It's so colorful. You can just walk around, ride the boat and light a lantern, or simply hang out and have drink. I definitely recommend to visit this place!

This is such a cool cultural site to see. I took a pottery class for only a few USD (and now have a handmade souvenir to take home with me) and walked around and saw some really beautiful art. The terracotta pieces around the village and within the museum are huge but filled with intricate details that tell different stories about Vietnam. You pay a small fee to enter the village that helps support its residents and their work, and it also covers a small clay souvenir of your choice. Just a really neat place overall.

What an incredible experience! It was fascinating to observe how locals in Vietnam cultivate and purchase their produce. I highly recommend visiting with a small group (on bikes) and a knowledgeable guide who can explain the diverse crops being grown. You’ll even have the opportunity to try traditional farming methods, like watering and turning over the soil yourself.

The Hội An Night Market is one of the most beautiful and atmospheric spots in Central Vietnam, just a short drive from Đà Nẵng. In the evening, the entire market street comes alive with the glow of hundreds of colorful lanterns. The lantern-lit ambiance gives the area a magical charm, perfect for strolling, taking photos, and soaking up the unique charm of Hội An. The market itself is vibrant and diverse, with a wide variety of shops and stalls lining the street. You’ll find everything from handmade lanterns, souvenirs, and local handicrafts to jewelry, clothes, and small trinkets that make for perfect keepsakes. Many vendors also sell delicious street food and snacks, giving you the chance to try authentic flavors while exploring. What makes the market special is not just the shopping, but the overall vibe. The streets are lively yet relaxed, filled with music, laughter, and the warm hospitality of local vendors. You can feel both the local culture and the tourist buzz blending together in a way that feels festive and welcoming. Being located right by the Thu Bồn River, the night market also offers a chance to enjoy the riverside scenery. You can take a lantern-lit boat ride, admire the reflections of colorful lights on the water, or simply sit back and enjoy the bustling evening atmosphere. For anyone staying in Đà Nẵng, a trip to Hội An Night Market is definitely worth it. It’s an easy day trip that transforms into an unforgettable evening with beautiful lanterns, unique shopping, and an energetic yet cozy vibe that captures the essence of Hội An.

A Special Experience at Phung Hung Ancient House I had the opportunity to visit Phung Hung Ancient House on the exact day they held their Lunar New Year offering ceremony. This is one of the most beautiful and historically significant ancient houses in Hoi An, preserving many traditional architectural and cultural elements. What made my visit special was witnessing the family's New Year ritual. The air was filled with the delicate scent of agarwood incense, its sacred smoke rising in accordance with Vietnamese customs. The atmosphere felt warm, serene, and deeply spiritual. Additionally, I learned about the house's history, its unique blend of Vietnamese, Chinese, and Japanese architecture, and the fascinating stories of the Phung Hung family. It was a memorable experience that gave me a deeper appreciation of Hoi An’s cultural heritage. If you ever have the chance, I highly recommend visiting and immersing yourself in this special ambiance!

This restaurant is by the Hoi An river. Place can get crowded to best to make reservation. Food and drinks were good. Service is attentive and prompt even with a large crowd. Prices on the higher side, however it is worth the comfort and live band. Highly recommended place to try.

A truly authentic Vietnamese restaurant! We had a lovely dinner and the staff helped us choose the most authentic dishes! The service was fast and friendly. It was a great way to finish our time in Hoi An!

Excellent restaurant in the heart of old town Hoi An. Cocktails are excellent and great value during happy hour. Food is Asian fusion and very tasty. Service can be a little hit and miss but I’ll definitely be back. Location is exceptional for views of the river and people watching.

They offer 2 dishes (white rose and fried dumplings). We got the white rose dumplings which come with mostly shrimp dumplings and 4 vegetable dumplings and dipping sauce. Delightful dumplings! Fresh, flavourful, easy to eat and light. Heaps of locals coming in to get takeaway and lots of food tour groups coming in for tastings. There is indeed a table of staff working on the dumplings in the back of the shop so you can even see how they’re made.

This place service one of the best Hội An’s iconic dish—authentic cao lầu, that’s bursting with flavor and tradition! This no-frills spot serves up bowls of chewy, smoky noodles, topped with tender slices of pork, crispy crackling, fresh herbs, and just the right amount of broth to tie it all together. The flavours are not overpowering, the noodles have the perfect bite, the pork melts in your mouth, and the herbs add a refreshing crunch. The local throng this place and the prices are unbeatable. Word of advice - the pickled chili adds a fiery kick

We enjoyed Madam Khanh. On arrival they were quick to welcome us into the shop. You can select to eat in or takeaway. We sat down Ns ordered the BBQ pork banh mi and two juices. All very fresh. The bread is warm and crunchy out of the oven, the meat and pate is full of flavour. It does have less vegies though than Banh Mi Sum. We enjoyed both Banh mi Sum and this place for different reasons and would return to both.

We visited this place for all the hype on social media and the food didn’t disappoint us. Banh mi - a baguette with Pâté and other fillings. A staple in vietnam , the food introduced by french! The price is very reasonable compared to the ones you get at restaurants. There can be wait if you come during lunch and dinner hours. We were there around 3.50pm so got a table without much wait. The place is not that clean with bread crumbs found on floor because of the customers and the staff got no time to clean it with the place being super busy. Don’t except the place to super hygienic. If you are a foodie you must eat here or you can take away the banh mi too. But we had to eat here along with the amazing avocado shake they serve! Ordered grilled chicken with cheese and the grilled pork one. The Pâté is so tasty that I fell in love with the taste of it. Bread is crispy from outside and soft inside. Also ordered mango smoothie and avocado coconut smoothie. Must try avocado coconut smoothie here. Loved pork banh mi better than the chicken one. Chilli oil was yumm and we poured lot of chilli oil to our banh mi to make it spicier. Service was quick. This place serves the best banh mi. And much better than banh mi queen where they make mostly for foreigners’ taste buds (bland, non-spicy, no chilli oil unless you ask)

Organized a trip to Danang and Hoi a for my gf birthday. I decided to celebrate my gf bday in Hoi An and was looking for a nice and cozy place to have dinner. I contacted Temple restaurant to consider the option to take my gf on dinner there for her bday. They surprised me actually with the option to prepare a nice table with bouquet and decoration and a birthday cake. The overall experience there was perfect, from the food to the high quality of service provided by the staff and the manager. Ms. Loc took care of us during the dinner and Ms. Bang even offered us a special shot after the dinner to celebrate my gf bday. We truly appreciated the gesture and the kindness from all the staff. I would recommend for sure and will come back again soon I hope 🙂

We ordered two chicken rice dishes, very simple and tasty and for good price, came with soup which was a nice touch. The service was also very welcoming and kind, one of the ladies working there helped us with how to best dress the dish which was really sweet. Overall, lovely experience, thank you!

Morning Glory was one of the best dining experiences we had in Hoi An. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was lively yet welcoming, and the staff were so kind and attentive, making us feel right at home. The food was outstanding and came out in under 10 minutes, which was impressive given how busy the restaurant was. Every dish we tried was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of authentic flavor. The Vietnam coconut curry was rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced. The mango salad was light, crisp, and bursting with freshness, offering the perfect balance alongside the curry. Those two dishes were absolute highlights, but everything else we ordered was also delicious. What made the experience even better was the value for money. Portions were generous, prices were affordable, and the quality of food and service far exceeded expectations. Morning Glory truly captures the essence of Vietnamese cuisine while offering great service in a warm and welcoming setting. We left completely satisfied and would happily return again and again.

09/04/25. Touchdown in Đà Nẵng. It is our first time here. Was pleasantly surprised that their airport is modern, bright, big with lots of space. Luggage was quick to arrive at the carousel. Immigration personnel were quick and friendly. Foreign exchange, telco and transport counters were easy to find. Wish toilets had bidet though.
