Hoi An Impression Theme Park Guide 2025: Culture & Travel Tips
When I first walked through Hoi An Impression Theme Park, I was excited to see lanterns that swayed and fluttered in the night wind, traditional folk sounds surging past me through the water.
At VIET DOVE Travel, I believe that visiting the Hoi An Impression park is a highlight of my Hoi An trip.
Why is it worth visiting Hoi An Impression Theme Park?
It's a park that tells you Hoi An stories, folklore and culture, and emotions. The park opened in 2018, recreating Hoi An, that great historical era of a celebrated trading port, as told by stories of the traders from that region, in time by the sounds, colours, and music.
If you are looking for more immersive experiences, VIET DOVE Travel also recommends the Lantern Making & Basket Boat Half day Private Tour From Hoi An & Danang, which gives you a personalized journey through Hoi An’s craft villages before you head to the park for the evening show.
