EMELY RICE

Day5: Two days and one night in Da Nang and Hoi An, being the last one to take the return boat

On the first day, we went to My Khe Beach and Cham Museum, originally planned to continue to lie on the beach today, but the weather forecast shows that it will rain all day. So we took the shuttle bus to the city, and then used Grab to go to Hoi An Ancient Town 30 kilometers away from Da Nang (about 35w Vietnamese dong) As early as the 17th century, Hoi An and Malacca were the most important ports in Southeast Asia. Hoi An is the earliest Chinatown in Vietnam. Since the 17th century, Chinese businessmen have come here to settle down and multiply, forming a prosperous Chinese community. The entire Hoi An city is divided into five districts according to different Chinese regional races: Fujian Gang, Guangdong Gang, Chaozhou Gang, Hainan Gang, and Hakka Gang. As a Chinese, walking in Hoi An Ancient Town will feel very familiar, all kinds of antique guild halls, ancestral halls, temples, and well-preserved, full of Nanyang style. The mix of Nanyang and French style, like the snacks that can be seen everywhere on the streets of Vietnam, is a staple food of baguette with meat. This fusion of Chinese and Western styles has formed a unique Vietnamese characteristic. I also met a Vietnamese girl in a local coffee shop. Like many Vietnamese people, her ancestors were Chinese. She can speak a few very simple Chinese sentences. She told me that her hometown is in the border city with China in northern Vietnam. She plans to study in Beijing next year. Under her recommendation, we went to the Morning Glory restaurant in the ancient city, super invincible recommendation, it's so delicious! Four people ate enough for only 200 yuan. In short, because Hoi An Ancient Town has not been destroyed by war, and no high-rise buildings have been built, any coffee shop you walk into is beautiful. After the rain stopped at four o'clock in the afternoon, people of all faces popped out of various shops, the lights were beginning to come on, and the boatmen also began to solicit customers. For a time, there was a lot of noise, as if they had traveled to the heyday of Hoi An. The crew put away the deck. It seems that we should be the last wave of people to return to the boat.
