A typical street view in Hoi An, Vietnam

I had heard only good things about Hoi An before I travelled to Vietnam, and when I got there I was pleased to find that all of those positive reviews were right. Hoi An’s picturesque little old town is just beautifully preserved. The pedestrian and cycling only streets are lovely to walk around during the day, surrounded by protected old historic buildings, and at night the streets are all lit up by silk lanterns. This photo is of a fairly typical view of the streets of Hoi An. I could have stayed here for weeks.
