Hoi An Travel Vlog 2022

Hoi An was the first city in Vietnam I visited 7 years ago. In the video Hoi An Travel Vlog 2022, I return to the ancient town spending a few days,(of the rainy season), admiring the many sites of the Unesco World Heritage “Old Town”. Obviously being protected as a Unesco site very little would have changed within the village area in that time other than perhaps some restaurant or shop changes. I did notice more shops with closed doors than I recall however despite visiting during the rainy season Hoi An seemed quite busy and the popular tourist restaurants that many foreigners like to visit were packed in the evenings.
This is easily the most popular place to visit in Central Vietnam. Within Vietnam it’s considered the country’s most competitive city for international tourism beating out Ho Chi Minh City and Hoi An. In 2021 it was the winner of Asia’s leading cultural city destination category at the 2021 World Travel Awards, beating out Beijing, Delhi, Kyoto, Seoul and it’s neighbor to the north, the ancient imperial capital of Hue.
As I mentioned in the video despite the crowds, it’s a wonderful experience almost anytime of year, even during the rainy season. There’s even a boat service for tourists that will take them through the town if it’s flooded.
I hope you enjoy this video. It’s always a privilege and pleasure to share these experiences with you, whether they inspire you to visit or simply give you joy just to watch and travel from your armchair.
