"The best part of my two-week trip was the nighttime food tour in Hoi An. Strolling through the lantern-lit streets exudes an incredibly romantic atmosphere. But the absolute highlight was diving into a hidden alley and enjoying authentic local dishes – such as White Rose Dumplings – far away from the crowds."
