Hoi An Ancient Town Citywalk: Discovering an Amazing Spa Escape
Vietnam’s scorching heat (37°C in the shade?!) makes Hoi An’s daytime walks brutal. The ancient town itself is overrated—crowded, overly commercial, and nowhere near as magical as Chiang Mai’s lantern festivals. But I found a hidden gem that made the trip worthwhile: 💆♀️ Must-Try Spa: La Luna Spa 📍 Location: Central Hoi An (easy walk from the old town) 💰 Deal: Book directly on their website (free reservation) or walk in. 60+ min treatment = FREE 30-min foot massage (total 90 mins for just ~120 RMB!). Recommended: Skip the singing bowl add-on (15 mins of ear-shattering vibrations—felt like an earthquake!). Vibe: Comparable to Oasis Spa (Thailand) but way cheaper—luxe techniques at backpacker prices. 🍵 Post-Spa Must: Mot’s Lotus Tea 📍 Near La Luna Spa 6 RMB/cup—refreshing herbal blend (lemongrass, ginger, lotus) beats all the overhyped IG-worthy coffees. 🔥 Honest Take on Hoi An Daytime: Too hot, too touristy. Nighttime: Loud, packed, and fake-authentic (think: aggressive lantern sellers). Saving Grace? La Luna Spa + lotus tea = the only things worth your time. #Vietnam #HoiAn #SPA #DaNang
