The beauty of Hoi An ancient town in Vietnam begins as dusk falls

I don't know how to view Chinese architecture abroad. The beauty of Hoi An begins as dusk falls. People generally don't like houses that are exposed to the west, but perhaps some people will like the most beautiful sunset. The buildings here are all facing west, Fujian Guild Hall, Guangzhao Guild Hall, Chinese Guild Hall, Chaozhou Guild Hall. However, those who come to understand the past history are Japanese, Koreans, and Europeans and Americans. How ironic. Perhaps there is no diversity of Hanoi here, no charm of Da Nang, and no prosperity of Ho Chi Minh City, so it does not attract Chinese people. 🧳Preparation before departure: The sun here is quite harsh, it is recommended to apply sunscreen well, prepare a hat, and an umbrella. In fact, it will be very abrupt, you will find that only you are holding an umbrella on a sunny day, and also sunglasses. 🚉Transportation strategy: Hoi An ancient town is actually not big, a leisurely day is enough. You can also rent a bicycle to ride before three or four o'clock, but not after that. As the sun slowly stops scorching people, tourists begin to gradually increase, and there is no fun in cycling at that time, maybe you have to push the car. You can also go to the service point to take a special sightseeing bicycle (the driver rides in the back and the passenger sits in the front). 🛏Accommodation strategy: 1⃣You can choose to stay in Da Nang without moving, take a taxi to Hoi An to play, and then take a taxi back to Da Nang at night (about 1 hour by car, you can call grab) 2⃣Stay next to Hoi An ancient town, there are many inexpensive but comfortable family-style houses. 🗓Itinerary arrangement: The streets of Hoi An ancient town have a very southern Chinese characteristic, crisscrossing, three or four horizontal streets are linked by many vertical alleys like veins, so it is best not to walk back and forth, and then you can use vertical alleys to quickly cross the street. Then when the sun is about to set, go to the Hoi An Bridge by the river. The flower boats on both sides of the river start to take on passengers, and the old lady selling water lanterns also comes out. It's very good to take pictures of the river with a wide-angle lens. ⏳Play time: In fact, it would be more comfortable to spend two days and one night in Hoi An ancient town. You can stroll around slowly. If you are in a hurry, you can finish it in 1 day.
