Hoi An: The Best City in Vietnam?
With its lantern-lit streets and canals and stunning colonial architecture, Hoi An is known for being one of the most beautiful cities in Vietnam.
In this video, we spend a few days exploring Hoi An and its surrounding area. We visit the ancient town and sample incredible food, including banh mi - an iconic Vietnamese sandwich invented in Hoi An - witness the mesmerising spectacle of the city lit up by lantern light at night as we drift down the river by lantern boat, and explore a nearby coconut forest by traditional bamboo basket boat.

We spent five months travelling around New Zealand and Australia in a camper van, followed by two weeks trekking up to Everest Base Camp in Nepal. Now, we’re backpacking Southeast Asia.
