As we all know, summer belongs to Southeast Asia: Bangkok, which is known as the summer never ends, Luang Prabang, a super Buddhist system with variety shows... As everyone knows, Southeast Asia, where treasures are always hidden, has a hidden ultra-niche destination!
National Geographic rated it as one of the world's "Top 50 Must-Go Cities": a unique world cultural heritage ancient city; large areas of French bright yellow street buildings; The world is full of independent coffee shops, market markets and street food, and the buildings of no more than 3 floors make the city not a little oppressive and rushed.
As far as the eye can see, there is the green papaya-flavored summer in Chen Yingying's films, the streets and eaves shrouded by palm trees and blackboard trees, the fine smoke and fragrant grasslands, and the beautiful rainforest.
Probably because of the clouds and rain that cannot be dispersed in the tropics, time also moves very slowly, and the old minutiae of the city are preserved, making people wonder "Is a hundred years a long time?" "Go and measure the timescale of it.
After the exchange rate fell, the already low prices here fell even lower, killing a number of Southeast Asian countries.
An XL cup of street coffee for 6 yuan, a big mango that can be taken away for 2 yuan, and a street baguette full of meat for only 10 yuan, the "poor ghost paradise" full of happiness is so concrete!
This is the central part of Vietnam that can be reached in just 1.5 hours from Hong Kong/Macau, and Hoi An is the most atmospheric destination in the central region! This name, which many people may not have heard of, has long been the imagination of European and American tourists for the integration of Eastern and Western cultures.
As the earliest Chinatown in Vietnam, which opened in the 17th century, Hoi An has undergone a variety of cultural baptisms such as Chinese, French and Japanese, gathering the essence of multiple historical cultures, and its own architectural characteristics.
Climate-wise, it doesn't have the sweltering heat of Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi's interiors, but the ultra-chill sea breeze from the east coast, and you can start to expect coolness on a rainy summer evening.
The most anticipated Citywalk never disappoints, with streets full of plum blossoms full of rich Nanyang accents, coffee shops, and street food, and you will feel like you are on the Mediterranean coast.
In terms of arrival method, Hoi An is located in the core of Southeast Asia, with daily flights from Hong Kong/Macau, which is very convenient.

/ Hoi An Ancient City /
"One of the first World Cultural Heritage Sites in Vietnam"
The ancient city of Hoi An must be one of the most famous and worthwhile destinations in the whole of central Vietnam.
It belongs to Quang Nam province of Vietnam, but next to Da Nang, it is an ancient city that has maintained a long history. The bright yellow exterior walls, black lacquer shop signs, old-fashioned wooden doors, parquet floor tiles, and hanging triangular plums and frangipani flowers cover the narrow wooden shutters, which is a bright Nanyang dreamland.
Grab a glass of mango or tri-color ice, wear a printed hat, and you're ready to wander around like a local.
Buy souvenirs, drink coffee, eat authentic Vietnamese food, or take a ride on a special rickshaw, but don't blink your eyes long, the architecture here is like a living museum.
©️Time
The Li Clan Ancestral Hall, Hokkien Guild Hall, Hainan Guild Hall, etc. are so large that they have exceeded the size of the street itself, and the Chinese couplets float up, and the incense is wisps inside, indicating the endless family and culture.
Today's South China is difficult to reproduce such a 17th-century climate and people.
The ancient city also hides the first place to be recognized as a national cultural heritage of Vietnam, the Novel Ancient House, which has been visited by many domestic and foreign leaders, and has also been the setting for many movies, and you will be amazed by the wonderful architectural beauty of the fusion of Chinese, Vietnamese and Japanese cultures.
In addition, there are many old-fashioned Vietnamese houses that have been renovated into coffee shops and restaurants, and 844 of the 1,107 buildings that make up the townscape are inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, giving you the immediate sense that the history of various countries is meeting here.
When night falls, the lantern, one of Hoi An's most iconic symbols, begins to shine. Since Chinese and Japanese traders introduced lanterns to Hoi An hundreds of years ago, they have been hung in large areas of the ancient city in place of candles and illuminating the cityscape in various colors.
High and low, different shapes and colors, they bloom in clusters on both sides of the street, inside and outside the door, and in the Qiubin River next to the ancient city.
In the evening, the Thu Bon River is the busiest place in Hoi An, and the river is full of bamboo boats with two lanterns hanging from them. Little girls and old women on the street are shouting and selling handmade candles, and you can put them into the river on the boat, which means wishing and wishing.
/ coconut boat /
"The most unique local activity"
In Hoi An, there's a fun and exciting experience – Coconut Boat! I don't know if it's because the local coconut is abundant, and the fishermen's boats are like half a round coconut shell, which can't be dumped.
Their place of activity is Cam Thanh, about 3 kilometers south of Hoi An Ancient Town. The coconut groves here are almost 300 years old, and you can take a coconut boat ride through the lush coconut groves.
The simple scenery of the Vietnamese countryside will be enjoyed along the way, such as white ducks playing in the water and villagers sitting on the side of the road to enjoy the shade, like an idyllic poem.
Along the way, you'll also encounter the frantic "boat dance" of fishermen, who make everyone dizzy by turning the boat into a dazzling circle. Also impressive is the fishermen's net casting show, where they spread their nets in the way they are caught in the local way to demonstrate the traditional Vietnamese fishing process!
Citywalk on the streets
Food map from 6 bucks
Vietnam's street food is not only the gift and influence of the humid tropical plains, but also the impact and integration of foreign cultures, as well as family memories that have been passed down from generation to generation.
It is said that almost 1/10 of the people in Vietnam are street vendors, and they have been working with their hands to restore the soul of food in this terroir!
/ Specialty Coffee in Central Vietnam /
As the world's second largest coffee producer, Vietnam is famous for its coffee and is the most important map of Vietnamese cuisine.
And Central Vietnam, which Hoi An represents, also has many specialty coffee varieties. What's even worse is that the XL cup type that starts at 6 yuan can directly achieve coffee freedom!
Coconut coffee is naturally a must-have star item in every coffee shop.
Coconut-based coffee and coffee smoothies are classics and are the best iced drink in Hoi An's hot summers. The "beautiful coffee" with the entanglement of coffee color and white not only has a good look, but also a strong coconut flavor, and the slow drip process makes the mellow aroma to a higher level. Some shops will also serve coconut flakes with food, which is full of tropical atmosphere.
Salt coffee
If coconut coffee can still be found all over Vietnam, egg coffee and salt coffee are pure specialty coffees originating in the central part of the country!
Egg coffee is a rich and sweet custard with slightly bitter coffee, and it is usually served with an old-fashioned Vietnamese dim sum such as dried bananas or mung bean cake. The salt coffee is covered with a thick salt cocoa milk cap, and the mellow aroma is unbeatable! A few years ago, salt coffee was only available in Hue, and it has only spread to many cities in central China in recent years.
/ Pho pho /
When you come to Vietnam, eating a bowl of authentic Vietnamese noodles is the right thing to do! If you see "pho" on the signs on both sides of the street, it must be a novice shop.
Throughout Vietnam's history, pho has been a common food on the streets, often served with beef or chicken, and the bone broth makes the whole bowl of noodles fresh from the eyebrows!
The central region brings together pho from different regions of Vietnam, and they all have subtle differences in condiments, powder thickness, and broth, but they are all delicious without exception!
/ Cao lau /
Cao Lau is Hoi An's signature dish and another form of Vietnamese noodles, and you can see cao lau vendors in the streets of Hoi An.
The vermicelli are yellow, hard, and chewy, and taste a bit like Japanese udon. But it's not a traditional noodle soup, but a soy sauce broth, and thinly sliced pork and fried crisps are a classic pairing.
/ Vietnamese baguette banh mi /
©️into
The French colonization left behind an authentic French life, and from the streets to the restaurants, many baguette stalls have a family history of nearly 100 years.
Vietnamese style baguette, called banh mi, not only retains the hard and crispy shell, but also has the soft inner core of Southeast Asian bread, Vietnamese style is the baguette in "everything can be stuffed", meat sauce, meatballs, mayonnaise, basil, etc., it has also been rated as "the world's best street food"!
/ Vietnamese spring rolls /
Spring rolls are a well-known delicacy in Vietnam, but Hoi An's spring rolls are very diverse!
There are not only traditional crystal skin rolls with prawns, but also very special steamed rice paper rolls with pork, which are wrapped in a paper-thin rice paper roll with tender boiled pork. But the thin paper is wrapped in layers and dipped in a little chutney, which has a unique flavor and rich taste.
Stunning coastline
The "New World" of Central Vietnam
If the abundance of World Heritage sites and the abundance of Citywalk cuisine are enough to make people's hearts flutter, Hoi An's stunning coastline is its secret weapon! The reason why Hoi An was able to become a historical landing place for various countries in the first place was that it naturally had the unique advantage of the coast, but because few people have set foot on it, this coastline is pristine and pure beyond people's imagination.
Shallow, wide shallow beaches, fine white sand, turquoise waters and spectacular sunrises and sunsets......
New World Hoi An South Beach Resort & New World Hoi An South Beach Hotel has taken 4 kilometers of the most beautiful part of this stretch of coastline as a private and exclusive beach, building another residence palace in central Vietnam that can be regarded as a destination.
These two New World brand semicolons with different styles continue the luxurious texture of the Rosewood series, adding a tropical homely design to meet the vacation needs of parents, children, friends and couples.
There is the largest beach club in Vietnam, NOX beach club, which includes 4 restaurants and 1 bar. There are 20+ restaurants and bars throughout the resort, with 12+ flavors to choose from. Italian, Vietnamese, Korean... If you are tired of eating, there is also Chinese Cantonese food to evoke the taste of home!
And the top 20 golf courses in Asia and NO.1 in Vietnam are worth a special flight to check in! The 18-hole standard course, more than 7,000 yards in size, and high-spec supporting facilities are very popular! In addition, the 2,700-square-meter kids club is super rich in activities, and the three SPAs give comfortable relaxation and healing, and more summer activities are on the way!
For example, from June to July, the hotel's European Cup-related celebrations will be staged: football babies, free beer tastings, live football games, quizzes with prizes, etc., super hi and super exciting! If you come in July and August, the International Kite Festival, International Boxing Competition, and International Marathon will be held in the resort area where New World Hoi An South Beach Hotel is located, which is a paradise for outdoor lovers!
Such a one-stop coverage of eating, traveling, shopping, entertainment and accommodation must be the best choice for visiting central Vietnam!
Crucially, this resort in central Vietnam is no more than 45 minutes from each of the main attractions, connecting the entire central destination map:
☑️ 会安古城 20min🚗
☑️ coconut boat 椰子船 13min🚗
It is worth mentioning that the hotel's free shuttle bus service can provide round-trip transfers from the hotel to Hoi An Old Town, Da Nang Airport and Da Nang City, which is very convenient to explore the charming scenery of the ancient city along the way.
With the hotel as the center, we can also explore the surrounding niche secrets in central Vietnam, and see which central regions can travel to "be popular"!

/ THANH HA Pottery Village /
"Jingdezhen in Vietnam"
Within a 30-minute drive of the hotel, there is a pottery village with the characteristics of Quang Nam Province - THANH HA.
The gently flowing Qiubon River has nurtured dozens of traditional handicraft villages along the river, including Nongshan Agarwood Village, Santang Cloth Weaving Village and Qinghe Pottery Village, which have gone through 500 years of ups and downs and are the relics of the prosperity of the handicraft industry. Just like Jingdezhen, it's Vietnam's most prestigious destination for ceramic crafts.
©️visitvietnam
Here, all the landscapes come from the pottery forging, especially the terracotta park, where the warm brown-orange hues of the pottery combined with the rustic atmosphere create a soothing atmosphere.
We were able to visit each pottery workshop and participate in the production by ourselves, from selecting clay to shaping, casting and firing clay, and we could take it home as a souvenir when we were done, which was very fun~
🚗🚗🚗 40min
/ Cham Island /
"A super-pristine island with an ecological fee"
Cham Island is a pristine pearl 20 kilometers away from Hoi An, and many people rarely do this strategy even when they come to Hoi An, but staying in a hotel, it is easy to reach.
I would like to say that although there are too many beautiful members of the islands in Southeast Asia, it is not the first time you have heard of the pristine nature to "pay an ecological fee when you go to the island"! Yes, UNESCO has listed it as one of the world's biosphere reserves, and the ecology of 1 main island and 8 outlying islands of Cham Island has not been damaged in any way!
For example, the well-known Strait of Winds is a must-see, it is the crystallization of wind and mountains and sea, with pure white sandy beaches, endless sea, and clear blue skies, if you want to find a place to watch the sunrise or sunset on Cham Island, this is really a must-see.
Many cultural and religious glimpses also affect Champa Island.
The ancient well of the Cham people, which has a history of more than 200 years, is the only freshwater source on the island that has not been polluted by salt or alum; The temple continues the legend of the temple and has become a symbol of the island, with thousands of pilgrims coming to worship every year; Xinxie Market is located next to the pier, and the seafood is fresh and cheap; Don't forget that you can also do marine activities such as snorkeling or canoeing!
🚗🚗🚗 45min
/ Da Nang My Khe Beach /
"One of the 6 most beautiful beaches in the world"
As a landing city in Hoi An, Da Nang is not only one of the largest coastal cities in Vietnam, but also known as the "Hawaii of the East" because of its 35-kilometer coastline.
My Khe Beach occupies 10 kilometers of it and stretches from the foot of the Son Tra Peninsula to the Marble Mountains. It is one of the most beautiful beaches in Da Nang, and it is rare to find such a long and vibrant public beach in one city, no wonder it has been voted "one of the 6 most beautiful beaches in the world" by many international organizations and media such as the Sunday Herald Sun, Forbes, TripAdvisor and many other international organizations and media.
Blue skies, shallow white sandy beaches, year-round clear and warm waters, and rows of coconut palms, American food trucks line the coastline, waiting for everyone to soak up the energy after exercise.
Young people from all over the world show their love of the sea and socialize here: beach volleyball, surfing, paragliding... There are also young and old people who lie down quietly and tan flat.
At sunset, the orange-colored sky contrasts with everything around you, and you travel to the free state of California in a second.
If you have more time, you should also take a walk on the streets of Da Nang, dopamine coffee shops, churches are lined up, you can fully feel the comfort and coziness of the streets, and the hotel also has a free shuttle bus to take you to Da Nang and Da Nang Airport, you can rest assured to play!
🚗🚗🚗 50min
/ Miyama Holy Land /
"Angkor Wat in Vietnam"
©️Vinpearl
Another World Heritage Site in Quang Nam, a 40-minute drive from Hoi An, is the largest temple complex of the Champa kingdom in the coastal region of Vietnam, known as the "Angkor Wat of Vietnam", nestled in the stunning Emerald Valley.
It encompasses the oldest and largest surviving complex of the Champa kingdom, with many temples and pagodas built at least 1,500 years ago, with intricate craftsmanship and Hindu features. It's hard to believe that in this sparsely populated and densely wooded area, there are such beautiful architectural relics hidden.
If you don't feel that visiting these destinations alone is not deep enough, the hotel also has a unique cultural experience on the south bank of Hoi An - Hoi An Color, which can not only explore the stories behind a series of destinations such as Hoi An Old Town, but also taste the pure taste of the local craftsmanship such as the brewery of India and China.
