Hoi An, Vietnam|First Experience on a Canaan Island Basket Boat!

Location: Canaan Island, Hoi An, Vietnam ✨The first time riding a round basket boat was super novel! Local fishermen row the boats in a traditional way and even perform crazy spins and net fishing 🐟 Sitting on the boat swaying gently feels like playing with a giant water top! These round bamboo boats are actually a clever invention from the Vietnam War era! Back then, to avoid taxes, fishermen made their boats in the shape of a basket. The boatman creates heart 💗 and star ✨ patterns with the splashes from the oar (remember to request in advance). 📸 Must-capture moments: 1️⃣ Boatman standing on one foot spinning the boat 360 degrees (hold your phone tight!) 2️⃣ Reflections in the coconut grove waterway (recommended in the soft morning light) 3️⃣ Freshly caught river clams opened and eaten on the spot (super fresh and sweet!) 💡 Tips: Wear slippers! You will definitely get splashed Agree on the price in advance to avoid extra performance fees If you’re timid, ask the boatman not to spin too wildly 😂 Some boatmen may ask for a "special performance tip" (agree in advance to include it in the ticket price) Turns out fishermen’s happiness is so simple~ I want to come back next time to learn rowing!
