Hoi An, VietNam

Hoi An is an ancient fishing and sea trade village, over a 1,000 years old and located 40 minutes south of DaNang. The oldest part of town is car-free (thankfully) and devoted to tourism now. Tiny place with over 500 tailors. Want something made quick? This is the place to come. We were there the other day, then went back in the evening so I could be measured for some linen shirts and to see the village lit up at night. The poor girl had to stand on tip toes to measure me. The dip fish net is classic here. Lowered in to the water at night with a lantern above to lure the fish. Note the wooden crank system on shore to raise and lower it. Another photo shows a typical sidewalk cafe (Starbucks has nothing to worry about) and the lanterns on the bridge pay homage to the tailors in town. Interesting little place to visit.
