Pick up a cold-brew coffee at Rosie's cafe. The alley is peaceful and the drink is less acidic than hot coffee, perfect for settling in before the walk.
16:27
Walk 15 minutes from the bridge area to Hoi An Park. Find a spot facing west. The sun sets directly behind the Japanese Covered Bridge between late November and mid-January, creating a striking silhouette.

Head to Dive Bar Restaurant for the next chapter. It is a short walk back toward town. Enjoy a cocktail or beer in the traditional house with a pool table and garden as the light fades.
Local tip
