Going Places: Discovery Bicycle Tours’ Vietnam

Hoi An’s Dazzling Lights, Tranquil Countryside
When I think of Hoi An, Vietnam, I think of “dazzling” and I think of Venice.
That first glimpse in the night as we walk over the Hội An bridge into Old Town and suddenly see the colored lights and lanterns popping out of the darkness, the silhouette of the sampan boats rowing on the river evoking Venetian gondoliers, the reflections on the dappled surface of the water, takes my breath away.
Add to this the crush of people crossing the bridge, reminiscent of the Ponte di Rialto (but with the added hubbub of motorbikes winding their way through the crowd). And then there is the Japanese Covered Bridge that reminds you of Venice’s Bridge of Sighs.
Author’s summary: Discover Hoi An’s stunning scenery.
