Experiencing Hoi An at night

Hoi An’s charm lies in its old houses and serene vibes, drawing in domestic and international visitors. And if you really want to dive into the enchantment, why not hop onto a boat for a nighttime cruise along the Hoai River that winds through this ancient town?

Picture this: you on board a cozy wooden boat adorned with a sprinkle of lanterns, gliding along the Hoai River’s gentle currents.

Here’s the deal – for just VND30,000 per person, you can snag a 15-minute boat ride that’s available at stalls along Bach Dang Street by the riverside. You can also ask the boat captain to pause the cruise so you can send off paper lanterns into the night, making your wishes known to the universe.
