Sightseeing around Da Nang Marriott Resort & Spa [Hoi An] | A day in the "magical town" where history and sensibility live
Walking through Hoi An's ancient town, you'll be captivated by the nostalgic scenery of orange tiled roofs and French colonial-style facades.
However, its true charm lies in the energy of a "town of creativity and handicrafts" that lies behind the cobblestone streets. The narrow streets lined with general stores, cafes, and tailors are so diverse that you could spend a whole day walking through them, and there is a depth to the town that cannot be fully experienced by just dropping in.
Memories of a journey through clothing: Hoi An, the city of tailor-made clothing
If you visit Hoi An, you should definitely try making custom-made clothes .
This town is home to over hundreds of tailors who can create one-of-a-kind dresses, gowns, suits, shirts, and more with astonishing speed.
From selecting materials to fitting and final finishing, it only takes 2-3 days - this is tailor's paradise.
The rows of bolts of fabric line the storefront, with a wide variety of materials including lustrous Hoi An silk, cool linen, and classic wool blends.
You can bring your favorite clothes or show screenshots from Pinterest. The appeal is the high degree of freedom.
What was still just a guess based on measurements alone took shape the next day, and by the final day it was a garment that fit me so perfectly it was unrecognizable.
The process itself is not just about making clothes, but the experience of "wearing" them becomes a time that is engraved into the memory of the trip .
