Top 3 must-visit autumn destinations in Hoi An (Mini-trip suggestions from Silk Sense)
sefa media | 08/12/2025
The ancient town of Hoi An, as it steps into autumn, seems to put on a radiant, enchanting silk robe. The golden sunlight is no longer harsh, the sky is clear like a mirror, and gentle autumn breezes glide over the moss-covered rooftops, making the scenery captivate anyone who visits. Amid the vibrant rhythm of tourism, if you are looking for short trips that don’t require much travel time yet still allow you to “touch” the essence of a land, Hoi An is the perfect place to begin such a journey.
And from Silk Sense Hoi An River Resort, you can easily take mini trips that last only a few hours or a day – lightweight yet full of experience. The following top 3 highlights, located just 10 to 15 minutes from the resort, will bring you moments of exploration that feel both near and deeply meaningful.
Silk Sense, a trusted companion on experience-connecting journeys
Silk Sense is not only a perfect place to relax, but also the starting point for inspiring exploratory trips.

With the three autumn mini-trip suggestions, the journey of discovery becomes wonderfully compact yet complete: strolling through the ancient town of Hoi An, a UNESCO World Heritage site; immersing yourself in the blue sea and vibrant coral of Cham Island; or enjoying the simplicity of farming experiences at Tra Que vegetable village.

An autumn mini trip is not only about discovering beautiful landscapes, but also a journey connecting people, nature, and culture. Silk Sense is proud to be your companion, making every moment gentle, inspiring, and memorable.
Mini trip 1: Hoi An Ancient Town – a living heritage within reach
It takes only about 10 minutes from Silk Sense for you to step into one of the most peaceful and ancient spaces – Hoi An Ancient Town. Although you may have heard about it many times, only when you walk through the small brick-paved streets yourself can you truly feel the “soul” of this world heritage site.
Hoi An Ancient Town in autumn carries a strangely gentle charm. Sunlight lays a golden hue over moss-covered walls, and the autumn breeze softly stirs the vibrant bougainvillea trellises. Travelers can leisurely stroll, admire the colorful lanterns hanging high, and listen to the rhythm of wooden clogs tapping on the brick pavement.
Hoi An cuisine is also an essential part of the experience. Don’t forget to try a bowl of Cao lau, the signature noodle dish associated with this land, or a bowl of Mi Quang rich in Central Vietnamese flavors. A crispy Hoi An bread with a generous filling can also leave you longing for more.
If you are unsure where to begin, Silk Sense can support you in planning your visit: from walking routes to explore the ancient town, to recommending local restaurants and cafés that are loved by many. Thanks to that, your journey is not only spontaneous but also truly memorable.
Mini trip 2: Cham Islands – a green paradise amidst the sea
From Cua Dai Beach, it takes only about 15 minutes by canoe to reach one of the most beautiful islands in Central Vietnam – Cham Islands. Autumn is the perfect time to explore this place, when the sea is clear, the waves are gentle, and the climate is cool.
Cham Islands is an ideal destination for nature lovers. You can join snorkeling trips to admire the colorful coral reefs, or kayak on the jade-green waters. For those who enjoy tranquility, an afternoon stroll along the beach, watching fishermen prepare their boats and nets, is enough to feel a sense of calm.
The cuisine on the island is also worth trying. A fresh seafood feast, from stone crabs and horned turban snails to fragrant grilled fish, will satisfy even the most discerning diners.
In particular, Silk Sense can help you connect with reputable tours, book canoe tickets, and prepare a safe itinerary. All you need to do is bring a relaxed mood, and let the resort take care of the rest. This makes your trip much easier and more reliable.
Mini Trip 3: Tra Que Vegetable Village – Returning to Childhood Memories
Just 10 minutes by car from Silk Sense, Tra Que Vegetable Village is a peaceful green oasis in the heart of Hoi An. Unlike the bustling ancient town or the lively islands, Tra Que gives you the feeling of returning to childhood memories – a place filled with the scent of soil, fresh vegetables, and the gentle rhythm of rural life.
At Tra Que, you can directly experience the work of a farmer:
- Sow seeds, tend the soil, and water the vegetables by hand.
- Participate in a cooking class, using the freshly harvested ingredients to prepare rustic dishes.
- Sit down at a traditional countryside meal, savoring sweet, refreshing soups and simple green vegetable dishes.
It is precisely this simplicity that makes Tra Que so charming. It is not just a tourist destination but a place where you can find balance – allowing both body and mind to be nurtured.
Silk Sense frequently connects with the local community, so the resort can arrange the most authentic and intimate experiences at Tra Que. You are not just a passing visitor but truly become a part of the life there.
