Hoi An Ancient Town

Hoi An Ancient Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999, is a must-visit destination in central Vietnam’s Quang Nam Province. Nestled on the north bank of the Thu Bon River, this charming town spans 30 hectares with a 280-hectare buffer zone, offering an enchanting blend of history, culture, and architecture. Once a bustling international trading port from the 15th to 19th centuries, Hoi An showcases a unique fusion of Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, and European influences. Its remarkably preserved wooden houses, narrow streets, ancient temples, and the iconic Japanese Covered Bridge make it a living museum of cultural exchange. Whether you're wandering through lantern-lit alleys, sampling traditional cuisine, or shopping for handmade crafts, Hoi An offers an unforgettable journey back in time with a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere.
