1. WHAT IS THE BEST TIME TO TRAVEL?
Traveling to Hoi An is an ideal destination for every vacation of families, couples dating and close friends, because this place has a beautiful poetic natural landscape, works with historical imprints and bring a peaceful feeling, the air is extremely fresh.

Because it is located in the central part of our country and is located in the south of Hai Van Pass, Hoi An has two distinct dry and rainy seasons. The best time to travel is during the dry season from March to August.

According to my experience in Hoi An, March and April are the most suitable times because the weather is also the most beautiful. At this time, it is not at the peak of the tourist season, so the service price is not too high, the weather is cool, little rain, sunny days but not too hot.

Every month, Hoi An has its own beauty but in October, November, and December are rainy seasons, so it often rains heavily, causing river water to rise, persistent rain causing flooding in the old town, causing people to will have to move by boat.

Especially every 14th day of the lunar month each month, the ancient town of Hoi An will turn off the electricity from 19h to 21h and only light with lanterns, people will go to Hoa river to drop the lanterns. So if the time is right, you should come on this day to have an enjoyable experience.


2. MEANS OF TRANSPORT
MOVE FROM HA NOI TO HOI AN
The trip to Hoi An is self-sufficient, starting from Hanoi, so it is preferable to go by plane for fast to have more time to play, because it only takes an hour to arrive.

In addition, you can travel by train, bus, the distance from Hanoi to Da Nang is very far, so traveling by motorbike is very dangerous. To move to the airport you should call the airport taxi companies will be cheaper, if you go alone you can call the car to pair.

- Air tickets will depend on the time, to save the most cost you should "hunt" cheap tickets. Today I went round-trip ticket is VND 1,360,000 of Vietjet, besides there are other airlines such as Vietnam Airlines, Bamboo Airway, Jetstar.

MOVE FROM DA NANG TO HOI AN
How far from Da Nang to Hoi An? Because 30km apart, when the plane landed I took a taxi to the hotel to rest, then rented a motorbike to visit and walk around Da Nang city for a day before starting the Da Nang Hoi An trip.

-I rent a scooter is 120,000 VND / day, there is also renting a car of 100,000 VND / day. The rental cars are available a little bit of gas, so you should ask the owner of the nearest gas station car rental, when they rent a car, they will keep your ID card, so remember to bring your identity card.

- If you are a driver who is not sure the hand is not familiar with the road, you should go by taxi or Da Nang Hoi An bus for safety.
