It takes just 40 minutes to travel from Da Nang to the enchanting Hoi An Ancient Town, and for the four of us, a taxi 
is the most convenient option. The car will drop you off just outside the ancient town! A one-way ride from Da Nang 
Hoi An costs around 300,000 VND
.
The ancient town is bustling with visitors, and the small shops are filled with some truly charming clothing options
. We arrived in the afternoon, strolled through the narrow, picturesque streets, and then headed to a renowned café (P

) for a relaxing coffee break
. The ambiance is absolutely stunning, and while the prices 
are slightly higher than average, they are still reasonable
and more affordable than back home.
We booked a coconut boat experience directly through Klook, and it was just a short 10-minute taxi ride away. Arriving at around 4:45 pm, we were perfectly on time to catch the breathtaking sunset, which was simply magical 
.
For dinner, we dined at a highly acclaimed restaurant (P

). We got there at 6 pm, and surprisingly, there was no queue. The food was exceptional
, particularly the baby squid. We also indulged in the local specialty, Cao Lau noodles
, which I highly recommend!
Hoi An at night is even more captivating, though it does get quite crowded. After a day of exploring and racking up 20,000 steps
, I was thoroughly enchanted by the experience
.
If you have the luxury of time, consider spending a night here. You’ll be able to savor the beauty of Hoi An with fewer crowds, making it an even more memorable experience.
Hoi An sounds amazing! I love how it’s full of character and great shopping options. That taxi ride from Da Nang seems worth it for such a unique experience.
Absolutely! Hoi An is a magical place with its own charm and fantastic shops. The taxi ride from Da Nang is indeed worthwhile, offering a smooth journey to this gem. Thanks for your interest—hope you get to visit soon!
