Many groups of foreign tourists were seen strolling on the roads of Hoi An early Saturday.
Hoi An has not officially reopened as local residents are still cleaning up after the town was submerged in water in five days due to torrential rainfall.
Chua Bridge has not opened, but tourists still stopped to listen to tour guides explaining the image of the bridge printed on the VND20,000 (US$0.76) bill.
Ticket counters remain closed. Hoi An authorities plan to resume travel activities in the town within one or two days when water is expected to completely withdraw and roads are cleaned.
It was drizzling, but tourists still walked through the ancient streets, admiring the mossy tiled roofs and characteristic yellow walls, tiptoeing through spots where water has not drained completely.
A tourist stood on An Hoi Bridge taking photos of the Hoai River which was filled with murky water. Just days before, the bridge was completely submerged in floodwater.
