Hoi Ann

Do you know Hoi Ann is one of World Heritage site by UNESCO?
Located about 35mins drive from Danang, Hoi Ann is an old township with its own uniqueness.
Bicyles and motorcycles were only transportation allowed in Hoi Ann. 
In fact people only allowed to cycle to Hoi Ann after 6pm, prior to that no transportation is allow.

Hoi Ann is famous with  Museum namely
1) Museum of Folk Culture
2) Museum of Trade Ceramics
3) Hoi An Museum of History and Culture
4)Museum of Say Huynh Culture

We did not visit any of these Museum simply because we arrived late in the afternoon. Having said so, there is just too much to see by loitering around..

One of the Museum in Hoi Ann


The entrance to Ancient City, by evening the river is surrounded by paper latern.
Twin ship??

By evening, the locals lepak along the side walk with their families.

This does remind me of Melaka's Jonker Street


One of the hotels in Hoi Ann central

Hungry? Hawkers selling food up to your footsteep!
Or you can join the local eating by the side of the road with the cute red plastic chair

Thap Xa Loi & Chua Linh Ung




Thap Xa Loi is not something you likely to miss when you are at Marble Mountain.


Beautiful dragon craving at each corner of the Pagoda it makes me to ponder how these people build these back in olden days


Staircase and staircase, a lot of exercise here to walk from one corner to the other


The entrance of the temple of Chua Linh Ung



Look carefully, the engrave was made of colors broken glass


Beside the temple there is Siddhartha Gautama Buddha Statue over looking the China Beach.
We spent 2 hours here before heading to our next location Hoi An Ancient Town.

Marble Mountain

Marble Mountain is one of the must visit site when you are at Danang.
Located about 5 to 10 mins drive from Danang well known beach.

While walking to Marble Mountain there are many stone sculpture making and stone-cutting crafts along streets. The scruptures are very pretty, there is an urge to bring them home and I was one of them.


To go up you can opt either climbing the staircase or with lift the more easy way up
Of course being a lazy person, we actually took the lift.


See, it is beautiful right?


From the top you can see beautiful Danang Beach aka China Beach


I can stand here whole day just staring at the sea enjoying the cool breeze.
