My journey in Hoi An, Vietnam, began in the heart of the ancient town, where time seemed to stand still amidst the well-preserved architecture and rich cultural heritage. As I wandered through the narrow streets, I was drawn to the historic Tan Ky house, a beautifully preserved merchant's residence that offered a glimpse into the town's trading past.
Next, I explored the elegant Chinese assembly hall, adorned with intricate wood carvings and colorful tiles, a testament to the town's multicultural influences.
After immersing myself in history, I indulged in local delicacies, savoring the crispy bánh tráng nướng and refreshing Mot Hoi An tea, a perfect respite from the bustling streets.
Energized, I continued my exploration, encountering talented artists showcasing their work along the ancient town's streets. Mesmerized by their skill, I decided to bring home a piece of Hoi An's artistic flair, opting for a beautifully crafted bamboo root art piece.
The highlight of my day came as I ventured to Coconut Island, a serene oasis accessible by boat. Here, I experienced the unique thrill of a bucket boat ride, marveling at the skilled maneuvers of the local boatmen as they navigated the waterways with finesse.
Returning to ancient town as the sun set, I was greeted by a mesmerizing display of lanterns illuminating the streets, casting a magical glow over the town. I explored the vibrant night market, indulging in delectable treats before bidding farewell to my first day in Hoi An.
