Hoi An
Hoi An was one of the most important trading ports in Southeast Asia for merchants from China, Japan and Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries.
Hoi An's ancient past is superbly preserved in its fascinating temples, pagodas, shops and houses which make up the town's old quarter. The picturesque town of Hoi An, with its unique character, is considered the most enchanting place on the coast. With a mixture of Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Dutch, British and French influences, it retains the feel of centuries past. It's magnificent collection of almost 850 old structures and intact streetscapes just beg to be explored… A great deal of rustic charm and an ideal spot to relax!
