VISITS AND VACATIONS last of the ASIAN holidays

Hello ladies and gents this is the viking telling you that today we are talking about

HOI AN

Hội An (Vietnamese: , formerly known as Fai-Fo or Faifoo, is a city with a population of approximately 120,000 in Vietnam's Quảng Nam Province and noted since 1999 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Old Town Hội An, the city's historic district, is recognized as an exceptionally well-preserved example of a Southeast Asian trading port dating from the 15th to the 19th century, its buildings and street plan reflecting a blend of indigenous and foreign influences. Prominent in the city's old town, is its covered "Japanese Bridge", dating to the 16th-17th century.

THINGS TO DO

Soak Up The Sun at the Beaches of Hoi An

Hoi An is not only its ancient town: given its prime location on the coast, Hoi An has plenty of beaches to choose from, so there’s nothing stopping you from grabbing your beach towel and heading down to the sand.

An Bang beach is 3km from the old town, while Cua Dai Beach is a 4km ride away, and they are considered some of the best beaches near Hoi An and generally in Vietnam

 Eat, Eat, Eat at These Hoi An Restaurants

Hoi An, Vietnam, is often considered one of the food capitals in the country: in fact, I found the Vietnamese food here to be better than most places.

One of the specialties of Hoi An is white roses, shrimp dumplings made from translucent rice dough, and made in a way they look like roses. There’s only one place in town that knows the original, secret recipe, so skip all the other Hoi An restaurants and come to White Rose. They only have two choices in their menu, so choosing a plate will never be easier

Other favorite restaurants in Hoi An that you have to try are:

Morning Glory: you’ll find this restaurant in any Hoi An guide, and it’s not a case. The traditional Vietnamese food is beautifully presented. Try the My Quang noodles and the Ban Xheo pancakes, they are both delicious. Morning Glory is more expensive than most restaurants in Vietnam, but you can still have a delicious meal for under $10. [106 Nguyễn Thái Học, Minh An, Tp. Hội An – open 11am to 9.30pm every day]

Mango Mango: the second restaurant in town by chef Tran Duc, Mango Mango specializes in Vietnamese fusion cuisine that combines the traditional elements with fun ingredients such as chocolate or fruit. The cocktails are delicious, as well as the views over the Japanese Bridge all lightened up at night: reserve a table upstairs for the best view! [Nguyễn Phúc Chu, An Hội, Minh An, Thành phố Hội An – open 9am to 10pm every day]

Streets Restaurant Cafè: Streets is a non-profit association that trains disadvantaged young people in the restaurant and gives them the tolls for a better future. Streets serves both international and Vietnamese food, and reinvests all the profits in the association. [17 Lê Lợi, Minh An, HoiAn City, open 12pm to 10pm every day].

Shop For a Custom-Made Suit or Dress

Feeling like shopping? If you must pick a place for splurging on clothes, shoes and bags, make it Hoi An, Vietnam. There is an endless number of tailor shops (over 400!) , so many that you really won’t know which one to choose, so this is really a must do in Hoi An.

I dont know about you but this looks like a cool place to visit i want to go haha i hope you liked this post and as always have a chilled day from the viking.
