Ancient Town in Hoi An, Vietnam is very quiet during the day on weekends. You can walk around and grab lunch and you might be the only person in that place. It's laid back, you might get a few tourists here and there walking around, and many of the locals are probably at home relaxing.
However, at night, it's a completely different atmosphere. Tourists are everywhere including Vietnamese tourists from other cities in Vietnam. You'll see backpackers, Chinese tourists, some Koreans, and a lot of locals trying to get you to pay for a boat ride along the river. The Japanese Bridge is the most crowded. Although it's not a very long bridge, it will take you about 10-15 minutes to get across the bridge. You also have to dodge people as many people want to take pictures while on the bridge. The main reason it's so crowded at night is the beautiful and colorful lanterns that adorn each bar, shop, restaurant, cafe, and massage parlor. Here are just a few pictures that I took while in Ancient Town at night. Enjoy!
