Ferry boats in Cam Kim island, Hoi An

Bach Dang dock (Bach Dang street, Hoi An old city) next to Hoai River
is now a place for parking tourist boats

... on the other bank is the ferry boats to serve the people. Unlike the old days,
it is now an engine-driven ferry boat.

 Passengers are those going to school, work or trading on both sides: the
 centre of Hoi An and Cam Kim Island commune. The boats carry people,
 goods, and personal vehicles

 Many tourists prefer to go on their own, instead of taking scheduled tours
 on the waterway. They can bring their bikes along on the ferry boats

 There is only a single route and the fare is quite cheap,
even taking a motorbike. Tickets are free for school students.

 Passengers wait for a boat at the beverage shops right on the river.
The wait is not long, as each trip is only 10-15 minutes

 A boat from Cam Kim pulls up to Bach Dang dock. Early in the morning,
the boats going from Cam Kim to Hoi An are always crowded because
many people need to go to the city centre.

 Sharing funny stories on the boat

 Meeting each other midstream.

 After only about 10 minutes crossing a waterway of 1.7 km, the boat
arrives at Cam Kim dock.

 The dock is small, so that when boats dock at the same time, the
passengers often have to walk across the other vessel.
