The ancient port of Hoi An practically begs to be photographed, with its lantern-lit streets and mix of Chinese, Japanese, and French colonial architecture. Early morning shoots at the Golden Bridge deliver crowd-free shots of this remarkable structure, while sunrise tours to nearby fishing villages capture authentic local life in action. The best guided photo walks stick to the historic quarter, where you’ll find countless angles of weathered yellow buildings, bustling market scenes, and iconic Japanese Bridge.
We love the evening photography tours along the Thu Bon River – the combination of floating lanterns and ancient buildings creates pure magic. For something special, consider arranging an Ao Dai portrait session in the Old Town, where professional photographers help capture you in Vietnam’s elegant national dress.
