The Experience
Before You Go
Pack a lightweight rain jacket
Central Vietnam can get sudden downpours, especially from September to January; a compact waterproof keeps you comfortable during outdoor stops.
Carry local cash
Small vendors, night market stalls, and some craft workshops prefer VND cash—ATMs are common but sometimes limited in smaller towns.
Choose sturdy walking shoes
Hoi An’s old-town streets are cobbled and Ba Na Hills involves stairs and gravel paths; ankle-supporting shoes reduce fatigue.
Be mindful with lanterns
If participating in lantern releases, use eco-friendly paper lanterns and avoid releasing plastics; local guides can advise sustainable options.

Conservation Note
Respect local wildlife by staying on designated paths and avoid releasing non-biodegradable lanterns; coastal areas benefit from responsible reef and beach stewardship.
Hoi An prospered as a major Southeast Asian trading port between the 16th and 19th centuries; Ba Na Hills was developed by the French in the early 20th century as a hill station.
