The home to 120,000 people, Hoi An is a city with a trading port that dates back to the 1400’s. The old town has been known as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1999, and there are many things to do within the city of Hoi An.
Where is Hoi An located?
Hoi An is 795km from Hanoi, and 30km from Da Nang.
How do I get to Hoi An?
Since there is no airport or train station in Hoi An, you must arrive to Hoi An by road. You can fly in to Da Nang first, and then take a bus or train into Hoi An. There are daily flights from Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and other cities in Vietnam. There is also a train station in Da Nang, so you can arrive by train from another city in Vietnam and then bus/taxi to Hoi An.
Specifically from Hanoi, you can fly which will take you 1 hour 20 minutes, along with a 45 minute bus from Da Nang. This is usually a pretty low price, but if you would like to save the most amount of money, you can take either a bus or train. Both of these will take approximately 17 hours. The bus will cost you 360,000 VND ($15.50). The overnight train to Da Nang is 16 hours and 870,000 VND ($37.50). After this you will need to take a 45 minute bus to Hoi An. The train is close to the cost of a flight, so unless you want the experience of train travel, or are adverse to buses, you should choose either the bus or flight.
What should I eat in Hoi An?
Although there are many types of traditional Vietnamese food in Hoi An, Banh Mi is known to be especially good in Hoi An. Banh MI is a Vietnamese sandwich. There is a French baguette, along with pate, meats and fresh herbs. It is a fusion of French and Vietnamese cuisine. If you are a vegetarian they also make an egg version with only vegetables, herbs and egg, which is quite good. If you have ever seen the show “No Reservations,” with the late Anthony Bourdain, there is an episode where he visits Hoi An. He visits a shop called Banh Mi Phuong and claims it to have the best Banh Mi in all of Vietnam. Try for yourself and compare to other Bang Mi you will eat during your trip to Vietnam.
What is there to do in Hoi An?
There are many historical, cultural and exciting activities to do in Hoi An:
1. Museums
There are 4 main museums in Vietnam, The Museum of History and Culture, The Hoi An Folklore Museum, The Museum of Trade Ceramics, and The Museum of Sa Huynh Culture. The Museum of History and Culture is actually in the building of an old pagoda. On display inside you can see old artifacts from the Sa Huynh, Champa, Dai Viet and Dai Nam periods. The Hoi An Folklore Museum, is a huge building that has 490 artifacts in total. Everything relates to folk arts and things related to daily life of the people living in Hoi An.The Museum of Trade Ceramics contains ceramics from Iran, China, Thailand as well as India that have all been traded overtime through the port over time. Finally The Museum of Sa Huynh Culture displays artifacts from the original settlers of Hoi An. These artifacts go back over 2000 years.
2. Shopping
One of the most populars things to do in Hoi An is to shop for textiles, lanterns, and high end custom made clothes. Specifically shopping for tailored goods is incredibly popular in Hoi An. You can have anything made from a full suit, shirts, dresses, jumpsuits or even undergarments. There are 3 main categories of tailor shops. There are the big outlets, smaller shophouses which you will find lining the street, and then stalls at the cloth market. The big outlets are known mainly as Bebe, Yaly, A Dong and Kimmy. These are known to have good quality control and quick turnaround times. These can be a bit more expensive, but if you are in a rush or want to make sure you receive top quality, this will be your best option. Smaller tailors that line the street throughout this UNESCO World Heritage Site or throughout the cloth market will be cheaper in price, and usually the same quality. This is not always the case though, and sometimes it can be great quality at a better price!
3. Festivals
One exciting festival is the Hoi An Lantern Full Moon Festival. It takes place each full moon, and the celebrations honor the ancestors. There is an exchange of flowers, lanterns, candles, and fruits. These symbolize prosperity and good fortune.
4. Cooking lessons
There are a variety of different cooking lessons and food tours throughout Hoi An. This authentic experience is often done inside of a cooking school or even a local person’s home. You will be picked up early in the morning and head to the market to purchase your ingredients. Then you will head to the cooking school and learn how to make many different Vietnamese dishes!
When is the best time of year to visit Hoi An?
Hoi An has two seasons, the rainy season and the dry season. The hottest period of the year is the summer, from June through August. The temperatures during this time can reach as high as 38 degrees celsius. The coldest months are the winter from November through January, where the average temperature is 20 degrees celsius. The rainy season is from September through January. During the rainy season there are very heavy rains that can cause floods, this makes it a less than ideal time to travel. The dry season is February through May. During the dry season the weather is very nice with low humidity. May through August is considered the busiest time to visit, but is also the hottest time to visit. Generally February through August is going to be the best time to visit. For your own trip, you will have to decide if you would rather better weather and higher prices, or a bit lower prices but possibility of flooding.
