    Old Village Guided Tour

    February 29 in Vietnam ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    We've spent the last 3 hours exploring the old town with a tour guide in a group of 6. The guide was Tom, and he does these walking tours to better his English. A few mistranslations here and there hahah but he was relatively understandable.

    The old town is very pretty, with a mix of Chinese, Japanese and French Architecture. We learnt about the old towns architecture, went into a cultural house, saw a few museums on textiles and trades, watched a traditional dance and music performance show, etc.

    The old bridge that many come to see is under restoration so all boarded up and broken down, but good to learn about. I also had a delicious cold herbal tea that is only found here in Hoi An. It's made of lemongrass, cinnamon and a range of other healthy herbs, and honey. So delicious and only 18k per cup.
