She was very satisfied with the experience of admiring the scenery of the ancient town and enjoying local specialties.

"Although it is a tourist city, I find the prices of food and shopping in Hoi An very reasonable. It is a holiday so there are quite a lot of tourists, but it is not rushed or crowded. I will definitely return to Hoi An in the near future," said Ms. Khanh.

The weather is favorable, sunny, and the beaches are cool, so the number of tourists choosing Hoi An to experience and visit during the September 2nd holiday is quite large. Accommodation units recorded a large number of guests booking rooms very early, some hotels had to temporarily stop accepting guests due to overload.
