Lights of Hoi An

We arrived in Hoi An this afternoon, to a very lovely Airbnb in the old city. It’s a gorgeous city filled with lights and lanterns and TOURISTS! A lot…a LOT of tourists. This place is famous both for its lanterns and for its tailors. Apparently you can get custom made clothes made in a day very cheaply. However, our first order of business was to find food, which we did, at Phuong Banh Mi, made famous by Anthony Bourdain. He wasn’t wrong-the Banh Mi was fantastic. We think we might have it breakfast, lunch and dinner. Later, after dark, we headed to the river where boats with lanterns sail up and down the river and people set little paper lanterns afloat to make wishes. It looked like some sort of huge festival, but this is every night here.Læs mere
