Can someone please tell me the driving time by car from Chan May port to Hoi An. Thanks,

Doris

If you go through tunnel, I don't think it is more than an hour. We stopped in Da Nang first before going to Hoi An so I am not positive. I recommend taking the old pass, instead of tunnel, on return trip if you have time.

Marc, Thanks, you always have the answer I need. We did Da Nang last year so Hoi An is our destination this year. I understand its quite interesting, any suggestions for us?

I assume that you have also seen Hue before; otherwise, although I haven't been yet, that would be a much more interesting trip.

In Hoi an, walk to the covered bridge. There is an old house where for a small donation, they will let you see it; somewhat interesting. Let me see if I can find name of restaurant we ate at; very good. Go to marble mountain if you didn't go last year. Our guide took us to a silk factory where you can see how silk is made all the way from worms to fabric; fascinating. At the silk factory, they have silk "lanterns." If we had known we weren't going to see them anywhere else, we would have bought a lot more. If you are not going to Da Nang, I would definitely take the time to travel Hoi Van Pass on the return; it is quite scenic.

When I get home, I will try to see if I still have info on old house and restaurant.

Again thanks Marc, you always have the answers I need. We will follow your directions and we expect to have a very enjoyable day. We did marble mountain last year along with Da Nang. The silk factory sounds interesting and a great lunch always completes the day.
