Hoi An – a city located on the coast of Central Vietnam, used to be an important bustling port of Southeast Asia from the 15th to 19th centuries. At the same time, it is also a popular stopover for tourists, becoming more and more famous with foreign tourists, especially those from Japan, China, and South Korea.

On the 14th day of every lunar month, the people of Hoi An organize the “Full Moon Festival” with colorful lanterns shimmering in the light of the river, reflecting the traditional characteristics of the ancient town by the Hoai River.

In addition, Hoi An also has famous attractions such as the Japanese Covered Bridge, Quan Cong Temple, and old houses along with small mossy streets for pedestrians…
