Hoi An is the place where you’d like to take one thousand pictures per minute. The architecture mix (japanese, chinese and french), the traditional lanterns and no car traffic make this old town protected by UNESCO a favorite destination for tourist to make their photo shoots.

We ate an octopus and some noodles with seafood and spinach. It was food for tourists, in a very touristy place, but actually super tasty as well, with a local cuisine touch.

2nd Day in Hoi An
An authentic breakfast
Truth is that, although the whole area is beautiful and there are tourists beyond the historic center, there were no cafes or restaurants around our accommodation. At least they were not like those in the cities we had visited before.

![people wearing urban clothes to go to the sea](https://tourifficworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Hoi-An-City-44.jpg)
Well into the night, we started our way back home. It was around 9 pm and we had already eaten something, so we only went to the old town to have a snack. Then, we rode our bikes back to our accommodation. Needless to say, we didn’t miss the chance to have a smoothie as a dessert. They are delicious anywhere in Vietnam!

4th Day in Hoi An
Visiting the old town very early in the morning
We have already told you, in addition, that some people choose to visit Hoi An on a day trip while staying in another city.

![filming a video clip in hoi an with a girl singing](https://tourifficworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Hoi-An-City-135.jpg)
Too late for getting fresh food at the market
![old market in hoi an](https://tourifficworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Hoi-An-City-145.jpg)
In markets and food stalls on the street it’s very common to have the food without refrigeration, of course. We saw this in other places like Ho Chi Minh too. In the morning, the food looks very good, and as time goes by, it’s easy to see how quicly it goes off. Specially the green leaves that looked so fresh in the morning and so old in the afternoon.
![Food ate the old market in hoi an](https://tourifficworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Hoi-An-City-52.jpg)
Parking the bikes near the beach
![sunset in hopi an beach, the perfect time to go to the beach](https://tourifficworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Hoi-An-City-47.jpg)
Apart from this guy, we don’t think Vietnamese people are opportunists. In general, you don’t have to stay alert all the time.
A very kind and peaceful society

5th Day in Hoi An
Visiting My Son World Heritage Site
We got up very early again because we were going on a trip to My Son site, and the driver would pick us up at 7.30 am.

Yet, the road was very scenic, with rice fields on each side. Anyway, when we came back after noon, tired and overheated, we felt ready for a nap.
Off the tourist road for a few hours

From there, we would head to Ba Na Hills to visit the Golden Bridge at Sunworld amusement park.
In addition, the trip would take us all along Da Nang coast, and we would also ride along Hai Van Pass mountain pass. Finally, we would be dropped off at our new accommodation in Hue.
