Not only listed as one of the UNESCO Heritage but Hoi An Ancient town is of course the most popular and not to be missed site to visit while you were in Hoi An.  Although there is free shuttle bus from the hotel but instead we prefer to borrow the bicycle from our hotel as more freedom and we can ride home anytime.

This preserved town is so classic and charming with French colonial buildings, yellow painted wall and lanterns everywhere.  There are also some temples and museums to visit.  And the iconic Japanese Covered Bridge to take a picture with.

From Hue to Hoi An, instead of flying there, the road trip is apparently the more famous journey that most people take.  Although it seems so long (7 hours on the road) but it is a journey itself.  With around 3 or 4 destinations to cover, such as Lang Co beach, Hai Van Pass and Marble Mountain.  Leaving at about 8 in the morning, picked up from our hotel.  We booked the private one so only the two of us with the driver.  The benefit of private car is that you can stop anytime to take photos as per our driver's recommendation.

We arrived at the hotel around 2pm.  That's actually pretty good trip and we still have some time to chilling out before heading to the town in the evening.

Our hotel in Vietnam is getting better day by day.  From backpacker hostel-like in Ho Chi Minh then now we are at Sincerity Hotel in Hoi An, which is pretty new hotel.  Very nice and modern with a great and friendly customer service also free shuttle bus to the town and beach.  Although the location is not right in the center of historic town neither beach but it only takes about 30 minutes walk or there is also bicycle to borrow.
