The Top 5 Hoian Experiences Hoian

The Top 5 Hoian Experiences Hoian, once known as Faifo, was the principal port of the Cham Kingdom, which controlled the strategic spice trade with Indonesia from the 7th to the 10th century and was a major international port in the 16th and 17th centuries. Hoian is more attractive with the top 5 Hoian experiences being:

  1. The atmosphere of the Old Town Walking around.

    You will see Life moves in the slow lane, with this town seemingly still stuck in the old ages, in a good way. Quiet, peaceful, romantic are the feelings that you should have and Hoian is more romantic with hand-made lanterns on the 14th day of every lunar month, when the moon is at its fullest and brightest.

  2. Yummy street food

    While in Hoian, it's good to get foods like a real local, which is by sitting down on their mini stools and tables. The Vietnamese people love their pork, and it can be found in a lot of their street food such as cao lau (rice noodles with pork and veggies) or banh bao (steamed rice dumplings with pork and mushrooms). Non-pork eaters can try banh vac (steamed rice dumplings with ground shrimp and veggies) or banh dap (rice crackers with steamed rice pancakes and anchovy sauce), or savour their delicious desserts like banh xoai (mango cake) or xi ma (black sesame pudding).

  4. Get cooking

    Cooking classes are a tourist rite of passage in Vietnam, and you can do one in any city. But, there's something about the soothing pace and slightly less commercial feel of Hoian that makes it the perfect spot to get out the chopping board and learn what on earth is actually in a bowl of pho.
    There are many different classes on offer - some are done by private providers, others are offered through restaurants in town. Try out a few restaurants, or ask friends for suggestions. They also allow you to choose your own menu, which is generally 3-4 traditional dishes for around the price of a standard meal.

  5. Explore the riverside

    If you're wandering through the centre of Hoian, you are likely to pass by the shore of the Thu Bon River. There are hundreds of market stalls lined up next to the water: jewellery, trinkets, clothes, seafood - you name it, you'll find it there.

    If you tire of the hustle and bustle, duck into one of the cafes along the riverfront. Sit down out of the heat and grab a drink, or order some cao lau - the delicious traditional noodle dish of Hoian or Sit on the small boat, moving along the ancient town and wait for the sun to go down, and watch the streets light up with colorful lanterns

Explorer A Dong Silk: Custom Vietnam Tailor in Hoi An

Image
From Canada, we travelled to Vietnam and based on the recommendation of a fashion-industry friend, made a b-line for A-Dong in Hoi An. It was our first trip to Vietnam and we were amazed by the sheer number (200+)  tailor shops in Hoi An  - a hotbed of custom made clothing, shoes etc. We learned that most of these shops have a formal 'pay for referral' network amongst hotel concierges and others in the tourist industry - except A-Dong. They rely on their work and quality reputation and it is a good one. As an example, while we were there getting our measurements ( suits, shorts, dresses, overcoats, jackets, and more ) we noted a returning customer back in town from Australia after a 4 year absence. The quality of cloth and choice was very impressive and included high end English bespoke and Italian wools. The service was extraordinary, particularly with the lady who served me, Nhung. An associate, Moon, was also very helpful and my wife and 2 teenage daughters were w...

Best tailor in Hoi An: Super service, wonderful materials and absolutely lovely ladies who work there

Image
If you will ever visit Hoi An in central Vietnam , the best you can do is visiting a tailor and ask them for a customized suit. When I have been in this town a few weeks ago I asked a lot of people which tailor I should choose to produce such a suit for myself as there really exist a looot of different ones. And thank God I asked the right people who recommended me a shop called " A DONG SILK ". That was the best decision I could make. They simply offer the biggest variety of materials as well as the best quality I have seen after comparing a few different tailors, it just takes one to two days until the suit is being finished and the staff is friendly and competent . My recommendation: Ask for Hong who is working at A Dong Silk . She really knows what she is doing, advices you in the best way and also has a good taste. If I will ever go to Hoi An again I will definitely come back to A Dong Silk and ask them for not just one more suit. I really regret that I di...

Great Customer Service in Hoian

Image
My fiance and I got the following items made: - grooms suit - 2 business suits - several pocket squares - 3 groomsmen suits - a dress for wedding tea ceremony Overall, the customer service was excellent and we were happy with the experience. We would both recommend : - come in with a really clear and specific understanding of what you want, including photographs, patterns, and an idea of the material that you want. - speak up if you are unhappy or want any changes - they are very happy to accommodate (within reason), but save yourself any disappointment by making this clear early on - set aside enough time for several days of fittings - check over clothes prior to collection (one of our groomsmen's pants were missing its buttons - they were horrified when we pointed it out and quickly fixed it) We are both very thankful to Khanh , Phuong and Van  for their patience. They are all very knowledgeable and highly experienced and therefore able to provide advic...
