The Ride to Hội An

With our appetites satisfied, we began our motorbike journey to Hội An, approximately 50 kilometers from Da Nang. Along the way, we encountered a sudden downpour, prompting us to purchase raincoats to continue our ride comfortably. The scenic route, despite the rain, offered glimpses of Vietnam’s picturesque landscapes.

 

Check-in at Little Town Villa

We arrived in Hội An around 5 PM and checked into the Little Town Villa, a cozy accommodation that would be our home for the night. After a brief rest, we set out to explore the enchanting streets of Hội An.

Evening Exploration in Hội An

Our evening began with a leisurely stroll through the Hội An Market, where the vibrant atmosphere and array of local goods captivated our senses. We then enjoyed refreshing cocktails at the Bubble Bar, immersing ourselves in the town’s lively nightlife.

A highlight of the evening was a serene 20-minute boat trip along the Thu Bồn River, offering a unique perspective of Hội An’s illuminated waterfront. The gentle sway of the boat and the shimmering reflections of lanterns on the water created a magical experience.

We concluded our night with a visit to the Hội An Night Market, where we savored local delicacies and soaked in the vibrant ambiance before returning to the Bubble Bar for a delightful dinner.
