Hoi An Vacation Guide

Hoi An is a small and culturally rich city located on the coast of the South China Sea in central Vietnam. The old town has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site for its unique architectural blending of local and foreign influences. The ancient town was once one the busiest trading ports in Asia, from the 15th to the 19th centuries.

The old quarter of Hoi An, set along the river, is charming at night with its lantern lit streets. A sense of history surrounds you looking at the old houses, shops and ancient pagodas. Cars are closed off in the old quarter, but there are plenty of bikes and cyclists to catch unsuspecting pedestrians! The town is also well known for its abundance of tailor shops. Outfits can be made to order for a fraction of the Western price and tend to be very good quality.

It has become a popular tourist destination and is a great place to soak up the culture whilst walking through the ancient streets or relaxing by the beach.
