Day 0: Travel Hoi An
Fly to Da Nang at 5:00 p.m. Before leaving, I contacted to rent a motorbike in advance. Pick up and return the car at the airport (so convenient; rent a motorbike to move comfortably and save money when traveling between places).
As soon as I arrived at the airport, I called the car rental company to bring out an AirBlack car, priced at 130k/day.
Once I got the car, I immediately went to Hoi An, about 30km from Da Nang. I stayed at the homestay “Halo Homestay,” the service quality was excellent. The price was cheap price (450k room for four people). And it was a clean, free bicycle rental.
Day 1: Travel Hoi An – Tam Thanh mural village – Old brick kiln
Get up early in the morning to eat Phuong bread; this place is super famous (20-30k). Walking around taking pictures of Hoi An in the early morning was very peaceful.
At 8:00 am, I went to Faifo Coffee to take photos of the view of Hoi An from above (take advantage of arriving early to avoid crowds).
10:00 am Return to Homestay to change clothes, then go to Tam Thanh Mural Village (40km from Hoi An). Arriving at noon, there are many places in the village to park your car, drink water and rest.
The people in the town are charming and friendly. In the afternoon, stop by the old brick kiln to take super virtual photos (search the map for “Duy Vinh old brick kiln” and you’ll find it)
In the evening, I ate Xi chicken rice (47/2 Tran Hung Dao, 20k), which was very delicious. Then, visit Hoi An at night, sparkling lanterns, and take a boat trip on the Hoai River to release lanterns. And yet, along the way, there are many delicious and attractive snacks.
