Hoi An Night Market
Hoi An Night Market is a lantern-lit strip of stalls along the riverbank selling clothing, crafts, and street food, with the added photogenic bonus of small paper lanterns sold for visitors to float down the river as wishes. It's touristy and can get crowded, but it's also genuinely pretty — the string lights and lantern-stalls make for one of the better evening photo opportunities in the country.
It pairs naturally with a walk through the already lantern-lit Ancient Town on the opposite bank, and most visitors combine the two into a single evening out.
