If You Only Have Three Days in Da Nang and Hoi An
There’s so much to do in central Vietnam that you should consider basing yourself in the Da Nang area for around a week (or more). However, there’s no need to miss out if time is short. With the distance between the Da Nang and Hoi An minimal, it is easy to cherry-pick the highlights of both cities, as well as to devote an entire day to Cham Island, an offshore haven for diving, snorkeling, and lazing around.
The Old Quarter of Hoi An is incredibly well preserved and photogenic. Head there at nightfall when the lanterns are lit and begin snapping some incredibly beautiful photos. Between the lanterns, the gorgeous architecture, the boats, and the bridges, there are an endless amount of perfectly composed photos to be taken. Don’t forget to bring a tripod of some sort to handle the long exposure shots.
