(VOVworld) - A new day has come to the World Cultural Heritage site of Hoi An in central Vietnam. The ancient city looks tranquil, with few people walking along narrow streets, seeing old houses and enjoying fresh air.

Cleaning the pavement after a night rain on Tran Phu street

Doors are still shut at Tran Phu-Hoang Van Thu street corner

Local people seem to be in a deep sleep

Taking a sip of coffee on the pavement

Going to school

A restaurant preparing for a busy day

Sticky rice is popular with local people

Carrying water to earn a living in Hoi An

Collecting garbage in the city

Transporting ice to restaurants

A food stall on Hoang Van Thu street

Taking a boat to the city center to work

The Bach Dang Wharf and nearby market seem busiest in the morning

But it is still quiet in front of the old Hoi An market

At one end of Cau bridge

There are no people at the other end

Walking along Hoang Van Thu street

Visitors prefer taking a cyclo tour in the morning

After 7 o’clock, all the streets in Hoi An are traffic free
