Best Spots to Capture Hoi An

According to rehahnphotographer, timing is everything. Tourism in Hoi An is booming, which is great for the country but can be frustrating for photographers.

Hoi An is a warm and vibrant place with excellent food and authentic culture.

It’s worth the time it takes to find the right location then just wait for the town to inspire you.

Japanese Covered Bridge, Hoi An Old Town

Photo VnTrip

The Japanese Covered Bridge is an iconic symbol that defines Old Town Hoi An. This beautiful arched bridge was built in the 1590s to connect the Japanese quarter to the Chinese quarter, back during a time when Hoi An was a bustling international port town. Take a look inside at the monkey and dog protectors on either end of the Japanese Covered Bridge for some close-up pictures, as well as the temple inside the bridge.

Tips: get there early in the morning to take pictures without lots of people (7 am). At this time you can also cross the bridge without paying a fee.

Time: Sunday in Hoi An — 76 Tran Phu Street

Opening Hours: Mon-Sun 9:00 am — 9:00 pm

Photo Hall Around The World

Tips: Google maps has the location of the “Sunday in Hoi An” store a bit wrong but just pay attention to the address and you’ll find it. In front of the store, there is a wooden sign that says “From Hoi An with love!” Another often photographed sign.

Hoi An Alleys

In addition to exploring all the beautiful storefronts in the ancient city don’t forget to walk down the narrow alleys. Some of the alleys in Hội An have yellow walls some don’t but there are many opportunities to take pictures with converging lines.

Temples

Photo Hall Around The World

Just like rice fields, there is no shortage of temples to explore around Hoi An.

It’s a great spot to stop and snag some photos, but make sure you’re dressed appropriately, Hall Around The World website suggested.

Mural village

The Tam Thanh Mural Village was a joint project between the Vietnamese Peoples Committee of Quang Nam Province and the Korean Community Art Exchange Program. Over a dozen Vietnamese and Korean artists painted over 100 murals around the community.

The project aimed to create art for a better community and to bring more tourists to the area. So far, it has been a massive success and has even inspired other similar projects to spring up in the area… more on that soon.

Though it’s not technically in Hoi An, the Mural Village is just a short day trip away and well worth a visit if you’re a fan of street art. It lies alongside a beautiful beach which was totally deserted when we visited… making it a pretty surreal spot for photos as well.
