Especially when the sunset falls, Hoi An is absolutely beautiful.
Author Nguyen Huu Binh captured the beauty of Hoi An at sunset through the photo series "Sunset on Hoi An Ancient Town". The photo series was submitted by the author to the Happy Vietnam Photo and Video Contest, organized by the Ministry of Information and Communications.
When the last rays of the afternoon sun gradually set over the vast ocean, the sky changed from yellow to red and then purple, it was the moment of sunset that captivated people's hearts. Let's admire the sunset image recorded by reporters in Hoi An ancient town.
Especially when the sunset falls, the sun pours its last golden rays onto the river, making the whole river come alive. It is as if a transparent, shimmering silk is invisibly covering the scenery and people here. It makes us feel like we are reliving the old days. The feeling of sitting and enjoying a cup of coffee on high and watching the sunset over the ancient tiled-roof houses, watching the flow of people walking back and forth will make many people find the novelty of Hoi An.
Hoi An brings peace and tranquility to anyone who sets foot here. Hoi An, the ancient town with rows of houses tinged with time and space as if condensed from the 19th century. The shadow of the bustling commercial port of the past now lingers on the Hoai River wharf. Where small boats, after the ups and downs of time, become tourist boats, taking visitors back in time to the ancient Vietnamese houses.
When traveling to Hoi An ancient town, the best thing to do is to walk around the deserted streets, looking at the old houses and deserted alleys. And the most beautiful time is at dusk, when the gentle sunlight shines on the ancient roofs.
The light from each lantern blends with the sunset to create a heart-wrenchingly beautiful picture. Along with that, the yellow color of the sunlight blends with the rustic wood color of the small boats. Adding a little red from the Hoi An lanterns. All create a harmonious landscape painting, full of romantic poetic colors but also a bit sad like a vivid history page in everyday life.
When it comes to Hoi An tourism, people think of an ancient town full of silence and peace, next to the red and green lanterns, brilliant. But it would be a mistake not to mention the beauty of this ancient town in the moment of transition between day and night - sunset. Because, there are few places where the sunset covers the city with such shimmering and brilliant colors.
