This stunning image captures a poetic and festive scene on the calm waters of Hoi An, Vietnam. Floating gently amid dense tropical vegetation, a colourful backdrop immediately catches the eye. Two large pink hearts frame multicoloured hanging lanterns, emblems of the city, while the word "Hoi An" shines in yellow letters on this floating platform. The whole thing seems dedicated to love, festivity or a local celebration.
The surface of the water, perfectly calm, offers a striking mirror reflection of the scene, doubling the beauty of the setting and reinforcing the impression of tranquillity. In the background, a forest of water palms (nipa palm) typical of central Vietnam forms a lush, natural backdrop.
This photo sums up the unique atmosphere of Hoi An: a blend of traditional craftsmanship, romance and tropical nature. It evokes a slow-paced boat ride on the river, lulled by the colours and sounds of a city deeply attached to its cultural heritage.
Passionate about photography, I travel the world in search of the most beautiful shots.
