## Corrections to claims found elsewhere

- Hoi An is no longer in Quang Nam Province: since July 2025 it belongs to Da Nang City.
- A listing's lowest from-price is for its cheapest option, not always the full market, boat and cooking day.
- November is in Hoi An's rainy season, not the dry season.
