Explore Hoi An Ancient Town: Best Things to Do on February 19th

World Cultural Heritage—a title that left an indelible mark on me as I paged through travel books about Vietnam long ago. However, upon my arrival, the place felt overly commercialized, much like some of the ancient towns in China, with a noticeable presence of Chinese guildhalls. Westerners seem to have a particular fondness for the Southeast Asian charm, and these days, the streets are bustling with them, especially in Hoi An.

To pass the time until the evening when the river lantern boats light up the night, I whiled away the hours in a cozy coffee shop and even indulged in a relaxing massage. [[laugh-cry R] Unfortunately, my phone struggled to capture the enchanting night view on the river. It must be said that the Vietnamese have an impeccable sense of aesthetics; each small shop exudes its own unique character.

Additionally, foreigners here are incredibly friendly; if they notice you taking their photo, they will happily pose and flash a smile.
