The whole place is so aesthetic, eye pleasing and the vibe is just so unexplainable. Every corner is photo worthy and the cafe and shops are also very aesthetic. I couldn’t stop myself from stopping at every corner to take a photo as everything is worth admiring . And at night time it gets better the streets are filled with lanterns and the riverside is filled with lanterns and boats and bars with live music . the market is also opened around the night time and the street foods are the best thing I’ve had in Hoi An. overall it’s a great place and worth a visit !
