It is no coincidence that the ancient town of Hoi An was honored as one of 20 best "night life" places in the planet, because when night falls, it seems to put on a very different beauty.
The first should- visit destination in Hoi An is Bridge Pagoda which was built in 17
th century and considered a lovely and unique symbol of Hoi An.
Another busy destination is the night culinary street. It is near Hoai river with specialties such as: chicken rice, Cao lầu Hoi An style pork noodle, etc.
After 6 pm, all streets are lighted up. Walking along banks of Hoai river near Japan bridge and An Hoi bridge, you will see girls in Ao Dai sell lanterns.
Nearby An Hoi bridge has a large yard with interesting folk games. You can take part in by buying a card and listening folk songs. The song ends with the name of a card; if you have that card in the hand, you will win and receive a gift.
Bach Dang Street by night with shimmering lights from ancient houses and sparkling under the Hoai River.
On the other side of Hoai River is Nguyen Phuc Chu Street, An Hoi area. This street appears a lot of restaurants and affordable shops. You can come here to enjoy food, drink a few beers or find a souvenir for yourself.
A lot of lanterns on sale
The night market sells a lot of handmade products made from wood, stone, metal, etc.
Hoi An is very beautiful at night, perhaps the best is when no tourists and restaurants. Then the truly ancient city is back to the ancient appearance. However, to see the scene you have to wake until 1 – 2 am.
