Hoi An on a budget
Yesit is possible to enjoy a budget holiday even in Vietnam! How you might ask
? Most of the attractions in Hoi An are free of charge. The structures cost next to nothing to photograph,
cheap Hoi An hotels can be found throughout the winding streets of the city, and the food is rarely astronomical in price, despite its ferociously delectable tastes.
The most expensive part of holidaying in Hoi An, and also Vietnam, is the cost of activities that keep visitors entertained after historical attractions have all been viewed. Transport to and from hotels, equipment that inevitably comes along with many activities, and the added costs of food and drinks eventually add up. However, there are ways to remain entertained while not breaking the bank in the town of Hoi An.
On the main river of Hoi An, the swan boats are an excellent way to explore the city. Not only this, they are quite picturesque at night time, and prices are very affordable. For a trip onboard one of these swan boats, it will cost travelers no more than a few US dollars per person. It is probably best to get onto a swan boat just before dusk, as there are some million dollar views of the Hoi An sunset while onboard one of these boats.
In the midst of the Old Town's wonderful scenery and breathtaking traditional sites, visitors can participate in the Full Moon Festival, which is held every month. The festival is celebrated on the eve of the full moon, and without doubt, travellers will be over-the-moon with the celebrations drenching the streets. There is plenty of food available at the many curbside stalls, and the prices of such delicious snacks will certainly not stretch the budget.
There are several other festivals and events that are definitely worth experiencing while in Hoi An. On the 16 February, the entire city is distracted with the Fisherman's Festival. On this day, all the villagers can be seen praying for a good catch in the upcoming season. Quite an interesting cultural display is available for viewing on this day. The Mid-Autumn Festival another unique celebration of the lunar calendar. It is usually held on the 14th day of August.
Cooking lessons may sound expensive, like in most places around the world. However, things are done quite differently in Hoi An. Travellers will be hard pressed to find any distinct cooking school in the city. Rather, many restaurants within Hoi An will offer cooking lessons. That is to say, if they are approached by interested learners. Instead of going out for a meal, tourists can buy the ingredients needed, pay a little to the chef, and cook their own dish at one of the local restaurants. All this for only a few dollars per person.
Heading down to the beaches that fringe Hoi An is the perfect way to save money and still enjoy a relaxing day on holidays. Apart from the small fee for parking motorised vehicles (if travellers drive to the beach that is), a day at the beach will practically cost nothing. The two best beaches to visit in Hoi An includes An Bang Beach, commonly referred to as the local's beach, and Cua Dai Beach.
As aforementioned, the main issue with costs in Hoi An is the transportation. However, visitors can save quite a lot of money and time by boycotting taxis and buses in Hoi An. The city is the perfect place to learn how to ride a motorcycle. After a morning of engine-stalling and mini-crashes, most tourists are ready for the laneways and streets of Hoi An. Motorbikes will set tourists back just a few dollars each day, making them very economical. If travellers are still uncomfortable with motorised, two-wheel vehicles, then push bikes are another fantastic option.
