How the Ancient Town ticket works, where to eat cao lau, which tailors keep their own workroom, and how to reach My Son and the beaches." url: https://wimup.com/city/hoi-an type: City guide updated: 2026-10-07 publisher: Wimup (https://wimup.com) --- # Top 10 Things To Do in Hoi An Hoi An, Vietnam · Asia · By Wimup Editorial, 14 min read Hoi An traded under the name Faifo, and for two centuries it was the port where Japanese, Chinese, Dutch and Portuguese merchants met the traders of the Thu Bon river. It survived because it failed: the river silted, the business moved to Da Nang, and nobody had a reason to knock the warehouses down. ## Quick answer The best things to do in Hoi An are the Japanese Covered Bridge, the Fujian Assembly Hall, Tan Ky House, the night market and lantern boats on the Thu Bon, and the Cham ruins at My Son. The Ancient Town streets are free to walk; one ticket admits you to five of the 22 ticketed monuments inside it. Give the town three days: the old quarter, the craft villages and beach, then My Son. ## Quick facts - **Best months:** Feb · Mar · Apr - **Ideal length:** 3 days - **Budget per day:** $45–80 - **Language:** Vietnamese - **Getting around:** On foot, by bicycle, by Grab - **Tourism board:** [Official site](https://danangfantasticity.com/en?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral) ## The 10 best things to do in Hoi An ### 1. Cross the Japanese Covered Bridge Landmark · Tran Phu Street at Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, Hoi An, Da Nang Chua Cau is the image the town sells itself on, and the reason is structural rather than scenic: a covered bridge with a temple built into its northern side, put up in the early 17th century to link the Japanese quarter to the Chinese one. It reopened in August 2024 after a 19-month restoration. Photograph it from the Bach Dang bank. - **Time:** 15 min - **Cost:** Ancient Town ticket - **Best at:** Before 8am - **Tip:** The 20,000 dong note in your wallet carries this bridge. Compare the two while you stand there. ### 2. Fujian Assembly Hall Temple · 46 Tran Phu Street, Hoi An, Da Nang The richest of the five Chinese congregation halls, founded in 1697 by merchants from Fujian and given over to Thien Hau, the sea goddess who was supposed to bring their ships home. A triple gate, a courtyard, then a main hall of gilded timber under coils of incense. Read it as a trade guild that happened to worship. - **Time:** 30 min - **Cost:** Ancient Town ticket - **Best at:** Mid-morning - **Tip:** Shoulders and knees covered. It is a working temple, not a museum piece. ### 3. Tan Ky House Historic house · 101 Nguyen Thai Hoc Street, Hoi An, Da Nang Two hundred years old and lived in by seven generations of the same family, which is why the guide showing you round is usually a descendant. The frame is the lesson: a Japanese roof, Chinese carved beams and Vietnamese hardwood columns in one house. Look for the flood marks on the wall by the stairs. - **Time:** 30 min - **Cost:** Ancient Town ticket - **Best at:** Morning - **Tip:** Ask which floor the furniture goes to in flood season. The answer explains the whole building. ### 4. The night market and the lantern boats Market · Nguyen Hoang Street, An Hoi, Hoi An, Da Nang Cross the An Hoi footbridge after dark and the street turns into several hundred metres of silk lanterns for sale, lit and hung in rows. It is unashamedly a tourist market and still the best hour of the day here, because the light is the town's own product. Best on the 14th day of the lunar month, when the electric lights go off. - **Time:** 1 hr - **Cost:** Free to walk - **Best at:** After dark - **Tip:** Settle the price and the length of the trip before you step into a boat. ### 5. Hoi An Central Market Market · Tran Phu Street at Bach Dang, Hoi An, Da Nang The market that feeds the town, which is a different thing from the market that sells to it. Produce, herbs, fish and butchers under one roof from first light, and a food court at the river end doing cao lau and com ga for a fraction of the restaurant price. Go at seven, before the heat sets in. - **Time:** 45 min - **Cost:** Free - **Best at:** 7am - **Tip:** Eat at the stall with the most locals sitting at it, then buy herbs on the way out. ### 6. My Son Sanctuary Ruins · Duy Phu, Da Nang (about 40 km southwest of Hoi An) The Cham built and rebuilt this valley of brick temple towers from the 4th century to the 13th, and it was the religious centre of a kingdom that ran the central coast for a thousand years. The damage is part of the story: bombing destroyed the largest tower and the craters are still there. The brickwork is laid without visible mortar. - **Time:** Half day - **Cost:** Ticketed - **Best at:** First entry of the day - **Tip:** Take the earliest shuttle. The site is unshaded and the coach groups arrive mid-morning. Links: [Website](https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/949/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral) ### 7. Tra Que Vegetable Village Village · Tra Que, Hoi An Tay, Da Nang (about 3 km north) Forty or so families growing herbs on a few hectares of sand between the river and a lagoon, fertilised with weed dredged out of the water rather than with chemicals. That is why the mint and coriander on your cao lau taste stronger here. Most visitors book a session and end up hoeing with a shoulder yoke for two hours. - **Time:** 2 hr - **Cost:** Ticketed - **Best at:** Early morning - **Tip:** Cycle out. It is flat, it is 20 minutes, and the ride is through rice paddy the whole way. ### 8. The Bay Mau coconut palm forest Nature · Cam Thanh, Hoi An Dong, Da Nang (about 5 km east) A stand of nipa water palm in the brackish channels where the Thu Bon meets the sea, planted by Mekong settlers and later used as cover by the Viet Cong. You see it from a round bamboo basket boat. Be clear what you book: mid-morning trips come with amplified music, the early ones are quiet water and kingfishers. - **Time:** 2 hr - **Cost:** Ticketed - **Best at:** First light - **Tip:** Ask for the early slot and say you do not want the spinning-boat show. ### 9. Thanh Ha Pottery Village Village · Thanh Ha, Hoi An Tay, Da Nang (about 3 km west) Potters have worked this bank of the Thu Bon for around 500 years, and the village supplied the tiles and bricks the old quarter still stands on. The workshops will put you on a foot-driven wheel for as long as you want to embarrass yourself. Pair it with Kim Bong across the water for a half day of craft villages. - **Time:** 1.5 hr - **Cost:** Ticketed - **Best at:** Late afternoon - **Tip:** The village is on the way back from nowhere. Ride out along the river rather than the main road. ### 10. Precious Heritage Museum by Réhahn Museum · 26 Phan Boi Chau Street, Hoi An, Da Nang The French photographer Réhahn spent a decade reaching all 54 recognised ethnic groups in Vietnam, and the result fills four rooms of a 19th-century house: portraits at scale, more than 60 collected costumes, and recordings of languages some of these communities have almost stopped speaking. Free, quiet, and about the country rather than the town. - **Time:** 45 min - **Cost:** Free - **Best at:** Afternoon - **Tip:** Phan Boi Chau is the old French quarter and worth the walk on its own.

Book, or queue. [Website](https://tastevietnam.asia/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral) 2. **Banh Mi Phuong** (Banh mi · Ancient Town): A market stall since 1990 that Anthony Bourdain filmed in 2009. The pate and the house sauce are what separate it. Expect a line most of the day. 3. **Madam Khanh, The Banh Mi Queen** (Banh mi · Ancient Town): The other banh mi, five minutes north and usually five minutes faster. Fried egg, herbs and a homemade mayonnaise, made in front of you. 4. **Nu Eatery** (Modern Vietnamese · Near the Japanese Bridge): A handful of tables in a house near the bridge, and a menu short enough to read in a minute. Steamed bao, pork belly, banana blossom. The cooking is the argument. 5. **Miss Ly Cafeteria 22** (Hoi An classics · Ancient Town): Family-run since 1993 and the reliable place to order the four local dishes back to back. No frills, no river view, consistently good. 6. **Vy's Market Restaurant** (Food hall · An Hoi): A market recreated indoors: stalls around a courtyard, each cooking one thing, so a table of four can eat across central Vietnam in an evening. [Website](https://tastevietnam.asia/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral) 7. **Mango Mango** (Modern Vietnamese · An Hoi riverfront): Chef Duc's river terrace opposite the old quarter, doing Vietnamese flavours through a Western technique. The view of the lit bank is half of it. [Website](https://www.mangomangohoian.com/mango-mango?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral) 8. **Cargo Club** (Cafe and patisserie · Ancient Town riverfront): The breakfast and cake half of the Ms Vy group, with an upstairs terrace over the Thu Bon. Come for the pastry counter and the coffee rather than the dinner menu. [Website](https://tastevietnam.asia/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral) ## Best tailors in Hoi An Four houses with their own cutters and workrooms rather than a shopfront and a subcontractor. 1. **Yaly Couture** (Suits and dresses · Ancient Town): The largest name in town and the safest first stop, with three showrooms and its own production floor. The fittings are where the money goes. [Website](https://yalycouture.com/en?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral) 2. **A Dong Silk** (Suits and shirts · Tran Hung Dao): Tailoring here since 1997, with in-house tailors and a second shop on Le Loi. Strong on men's suiting and the place to have fabric explained. [Website](https://adongsilk.com/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral) 3. **Bebe Tailor** (Suits and coats · Tran Hung Dao): Three shops and the broadest fabric wall in Hoi An, which matters if you arrived with a photograph and no idea what it should be made of. [Website](https://bebetailor.com/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral) 4. **Kimmy Tailor** (Suits and dresses · Tran Hung Dao): Long-established, family-run and quieter than the big three, which usually means a shorter wait for a second fitting. Keep the same cutter. ## Best cafes & bars in Hoi An Six rooms for the hours between sights. 1. **Reaching Out Teahouse** (Tea house · Ancient Town): A social enterprise staffed entirely by deaf servers, so the room is silent and you order by passing wooden word blocks. The quiet is the reason to come. [Website](https://reachingoutvietnam.com/teahouse/the-teahouse/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral) 2. **Faifo Coffee** (Roastery cafe · Ancient Town): Three floors of a Tran Phu shophouse with its own roaster downstairs and the best rooftop view of the tiled roofs. Go the hour before sunset or not at all. 3. **Mia Coffee** (Speciality coffee · Cam Chau): Arabica from the Vietnamese highlands, roasted on site since 2012, poured on a shaded veranda a few streets out of the crush. The flat white is the order. 4. **Hoi An Roastery** (Coffee chain · Ancient Town): A local chain with branches all over the old quarter, which makes it the reliable air-conditioned fallback rather than the discovery. 5. **Dive Bar** (Bar · Ancient Town): The town's long-running bar, with a garden courtyard, pool tables and live bands on Tuesday and Saturday. It has outlasted every trend that arrived after it. 6. **Q Bar** (Cocktail bar · Ancient Town): A dark, Japanese-styled room doing proper cocktails on a street that mostly does buckets. Open late, which in Hoi An is worth noting. ## Best heritage houses in Hoi An Eight more of the 22 ticketed monuments, beyond the three in the Top 10. 1. **Phung Hung House** (Historic house · Ancient Town): Two hundred and thirty years old, still in the same family, and built with a hatch in the first floor for hauling goods up when the river comes in. 2. **Quan Thang House** (Historic house · Ancient Town): A Chinese merchant's house of the late 17th century, narrow at the street and long at the back, with beams carved by Kim Bong craftsmen. 3. **Duc An House** (Historic house · Ancient Town): A bookshop for most of the 19th century, then a meeting point for the independence movement, which is why the cases hold pamphlets not porcelain. 4. **Tran Family Chapel** (Ancestral hall · Ancient Town): Built in 1802 by a mandarin of the Tran family and kept as an ancestral worship house ever since. A descendant explains the boxes on the altar. [Website](https://quangnamtourism.com.vn/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral) 5. **Cantonese Assembly Hall** (Congregation hall · Ancient Town): Founded in 1786 by merchants from Guangdong, and the one with the dragon fountain in the courtyard. Quieter than the Fujian hall a few doors down. 6. **Trieu Chau Assembly Hall** (Congregation hall · East of the old quarter): Built in 1845 by the Chaozhou community and given to the deities of wind and wave. The woodcarving is the finest in Hoi An, and it is off the crowd. [Website](https://quangnamtourism.com.vn/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral) 7. **Quan Cong Temple** (Temple · Ancient Town): Standing since 1653, dedicated to the general Quan Van Truong and used by merchants swearing to deals. It sits opposite the market. 8. **Museum of Trade Ceramics** (Museum · Ancient Town): An old timber house holding the ceramics dredged from wrecks and dug from the town, mostly 15th to 17th century. It explains why the port existed at all. ## Best beaches in Hoi An Four beaches within a short ride of the Ancient Town. 1. **An Bang Beach** (Swimming · About 4 km northeast): The beach Hoi An actually goes to: sand loungers, seafood shacks and a genuine swimming break, 20 minutes by bicycle. Come for sunrise or after four. 2. **Tan Thanh Beach** (Bars and sunsets · Next to An Bang): An Bang's quieter neighbour, with beach bars in the dunes and fewer loungers. Erosion has eaten into it in recent years, so the sand shifts season to season. 3. **Ha My Beach** (Quiet sand · About 8 km north): Halfway to Da Nang and mostly fronted by resorts, which has kept the public stretches empty. The one to ride to when An Bang is full. 4. **Cua Dai Beach** (Sunset walk · About 5 km east): Once the town's main beach and now the cautionary tale: upstream dams and sand mining stripped it. Go for the walk and the sunset, not for the swim. ## Best workshops & classes in Hoi An Five half-days that send you home with a skill rather than a photograph. 1. **Red Bridge Cooking School** (Cooking class · Cam Thanh): The long-standing one, three kilometres downriver: a walk through the market, a boat down the Thu Bon, then a herb garden and the kitchen. [Website](https://redbridge.visithoian.com/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral) 2. **Taste Vietnam Cooking School** (Cooking class · An Hoi): Ms Vy's school, run from a dedicated floor above Vy's Market. Central Vietnamese technique taught by the group whose restaurants you have probably already eaten in. [Website](https://tastevietnam.asia/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral) 3. **The Handicraft Workshop** (Lantern making · Ancient Town): A 200-year-old Chinese trading house where artisans make silk lanterns and embroider at the back, with a short music and dance set at the front. 4. **A morning in Tra Que** (Farming session · About 3 km north): Hoeing, watering with a shoulder yoke and planting on the sand beds, then cooking what you picked. Physical, unglamorous and entirely clear. 5. **Kim Bong carpentry village** (Woodwork · Across the river): Six hundred years of boat and house building on the far bank, national intangible heritage since 2016. The workshops cut the replacement beams for the old quarter. ## Best day trips in Hoi An Six trips inside a morning's drive. 1. **Da Nang** (City · About 30 km north): The city Hoi An lost its trade to, and now the region's capital: the Han river bridges, the Cham Museum and My Khe beach. Forty-five minutes by road. 2. **Marble Mountains** (Caves · About 20 km north): Five limestone hills rising out of flat coast, hollowed into Buddhist cave shrines and pagodas. There is a lift up the main hill and many steps after it. 3. **Ba Na Hills and the Golden Bridge** (Cable car · About 45 km northwest): A French hill station turned theme park, reached by one of the longest cable cars in the world, with a bridge held up by two giant stone hands. Go at opening or skip it. 4. **Cham Islands** (Snorkelling · About 20 km offshore): Eight islands and a marine protected area, 30 to 35 minutes by speedboat from Cua Dai. Boats do not sail in rough weather, so it is a dry-season trip. 5. **Hue** (Imperial city · About 120 km north): The Nguyen dynasty capital, its walled citadel and the emperors' tombs along the Perfume River, listed by UNESCO in 1993. A long day, and better as an overnight. 6. **The Hai Van Pass** (Coast road · North of Da Nang): Twenty-one kilometres of switchbacks over the spur where the weather changes, with a fort at the top. Trucks take the tunnel, so the road is almost empty. ## Festivals & annual events in Hoi An (2026) - **Tet Nguyen Dan** (Jan/Feb): Lunar New Year, and the biggest week of the Vietnamese calendar. Many shops and kitchens close for several days. Book far ahead. - **Nguyen Tieu, the first full moon** (Feb): The 15th day of the first lunar month, national intangible heritage. Offerings at the assembly halls, and lanterns in numbers. - **Cau Ngu, the whale worship festival** (Feb/Mar): The fishing villages honour the whale spirit and ask for a safe season, with boat processions and hat boi opera. - **Ba Thu Bon Festival** (Mar): The 12th day of the second lunar month, upriver at Duy Xuyen, honouring the river goddess in a rite with Cham roots. - **Full moon lantern night** (Monthly): On the 14th day of every lunar month the electric lights go off and the streets run on silk and candle lanterns until ten. - **Vesak, Buddha's birthday** (May): The 15th day of the fourth lunar month. Lantern displays and ceremonies at the pagodas, and a procession in the largest years. - **Tet Trung Thu, the Mid-Autumn Festival** (Sep/Oct): The 15th day of the eighth lunar month, the children's festival. Lion dance troupes work down Tran Phu, drumming at each shop. - **National Day** (2 Sep): Vietnam's independence day and a public holiday, so the town is at its busiest with Vietnamese visitors. Book early. ## Must-try dishes in Hoi An, Vietnam - **Cao lau**: Thick chewy noodles, five-spice pork, greens from Tra Que and fried crackling, in barely enough broth. - **White rose, banh bao banh vac**: Translucent steamed rice dumplings pinched into a rose shape, filled with shrimp under fried shallot. - **Mi Quang**: Flat turmeric-yellow noodles under pork and shrimp, a shallow intense broth, peanuts and herbs. - **Hoanh thanh chien**: Fried wonton squares under a topping of tomato, shrimp and herbs. The standard old-quarter opener. - **Com ga Hoi An**: Rice cooked in the poaching stock until yellow with turmeric, shredded chicken, pickles and broth. - **Banh mi**: Hoi An's version leans on pate, char siu pork and a house sauce, in a roll that shatters rather than tears. - **Banh dap**: A grilled rice paper over a soft steamed one, smashed flat at the table and dipped in anchovy sauce. - **Che bap**: Sweet corn pudding, thickened with tapioca and served warm or over ice. The end of a hot afternoon. ## Hoi An transport & airports - **Da Nang International Airport** (DAD): The only airport for Hoi An, about 30 km north and 45 minutes by road. There is no airport bus to Hoi An, so it is a car either way. [Website](https://vietnamairport.vn/en/da-nang-international-airport?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral) - **Da Nang railway station** (Reunification line): Hoi An has no station. The nearest is in Da Nang, on the north to south line. The Hue to Da Nang leg along the Hai Van cliffs is the most scenic rail in the country. [Website](https://dsvn.vn/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral) - **Yellow bus route 1** (Public bus): The cheap way in: the yellow public bus runs between Da Nang and Hoi An bus stations, an hour and a half against 45 minutes in a car. It does not serve the airport. - **Grab, taxis and bicycles** (In town): Grab covers Hoi An and Da Nang and is the simplest way to price a car. In town you will not need it: the Ancient Town closes to traffic for set hours and most hotels lend bicycles. ## Hoi An at a glance - **Country:** Vietnam - **Region:** Hoi An ward, Da Nang city (Quang Nam province until July 2025) - **Population:** About 150,000 in the former Hoi An city (2018) - **Founded:** Cham river port from the 2nd century; international trading port from the 16th - **Nickname:** Faifo, the name European merchants traded under - **Language:** Vietnamese - **Currency:** Vietnamese dong (₫) - **Time zone:** ICT (UTC+7) - **Calling code:** +84 235 - **Airports:** Da Nang (DAD), about 30 km north - **Power:** 220V, plug types A, C and F - **Emergency:** 113 police, 114 fire, 115 ambulance ## Interesting facts - UNESCO inscribed Hoi An Ancient Town in 1999 as an exceptionally well preserved traditional Asian trading port. - The town survived because the trade left. The Thu Bon silted up and business moved to Da Nang, so nobody rebuilt the shophouses. - The Japanese Covered Bridge appears on the 20,000 dong banknote. It reopened in August 2024 after a 19-month restoration. - My Son, 40 km inland, was listed by UNESCO in the same year. Its Cham brick towers were built without visible mortar. - On 1 July 2025 Vietnam cut 63 provinces to 34. Hoi An was reorganised into three wards of Da Nang. ## Watch [Hoi An on Foot](https://wimup.com/watch/hoi-an.md), 1:02:02 ## Hoi An travel FAQ ### How many days do you need in Hoi An? Three. The first covers the Ancient Town on foot, the second the craft villages and a beach, the third My Son or the coast road to Da Nang. Two works if you skip My Son. One means seeing the old quarter and nothing that explains it. ### Do you have to buy the Ancient Town ticket? Not to walk the streets, which are public. The ticket, sold at booths around the edge of the old quarter, admits you to five of the 22 ticketed monuments: the assembly halls, the old houses, the museums and the covered bridge. If you intend to go inside anything, you need one. ### When is the Hoi An lantern festival? The 14th day of every lunar month, so roughly once a month, all year. The Ancient Town switches its electric lights off from about sunset and runs on lanterns until around ten. The February full moon, Nguyen Tieu, is the largest of them. ### What is the best time of year to visit Hoi An? February to April: warm, dry and before the summer heat, which pushes past 35°C from May. Avoid October and November, when the typhoon season brings the heaviest rain and the Thu Bon has flooded the old quarter more than once. ### Is Hoi An still in Quang Nam province? No. Since 1 July 2025, Quang Nam has been merged into Da Nang city and Hoi An is administratively part of Da Nang, split across three wards. Older maps, signs and booking sites will say Quang Nam for years yet, and the place itself has not moved. ## Nearby guides - [Hue](https://wimup.com/city/hue.md): Day trip · 10 picks - [Da Lat](https://wimup.com/city/da-lat.md): Vietnam · 10 picks - [Siem Reap](https://wimup.com/city/siem-reap.md): Cambodia · 10 picks - [All of Asia →](https://wimup.com/asia): 71 cities Part of the [Vietnam guide](https://wimup.com/country/vietnam.md) · [Asia](https://wimup.com/asia.md) ## Sources - [Hoi An tourism board](https://danangfantasticity.com/en?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral) - [My Son Sanctuary (official site)](https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/949/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral) - [Precious Heritage Museum by Réhahn (official site)](https://www.rehahnphotographer.com/precious-heritage-museum/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral) - [Morning Glory Original (official site)](https://tastevietnam.asia/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral) - [Mango Mango (official site)](https://www.mangomangohoian.com/mango-mango?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral) - [Yaly Couture (official site)](https://yalycouture.com/en?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral) - [A Dong Silk (official site)](https://adongsilk.com/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral) - [Bebe Tailor (official site)](https://bebetailor.com/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral) - [Reaching Out Teahouse (official site)](https://reachingoutvietnam.com/teahouse/the-teahouse/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral) - [Tran Family Chapel (official site)](https://quangnamtourism.com.vn/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral) - [Red Bridge Cooking School (official site)](https://redbridge.visithoian.com/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral) - [Da Nang International Airport (official site)](https://vietnamairport.vn/en/da-nang-international-airport?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral) - [Da Nang railway station (official site)](https://dsvn.vn/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral) - Rankings are Wimup editorial picks.
