Why locals go

For Vietnamese travelers Hội An is the evening leg of the Đà Nẵng template plus a tailoring errand: cross after 4pm for a 25,000–50,000 VND bowl of cao lầu, lantern photos on the Hoài, and an áo dài fitting, then sleep by the beach. They pay 80,000 VND at the heritage booths where foreigners pay 120,000, eat the famous bowls before the pots run out, and skip the midday hours entirely — that slot belongs to the day-trip buses. Best months are Feb–Aug: Feb–Apr mildest, May–Aug hot beach weather; Oct–Nov is flood season, not shoulder season.
