Hoi An ancient town (World cultural heritage)
Hoi An is an old town down the Thu Bon River, on the coastal plain of Quang
Nam Province, about 30 km south of Da Nang City. Hoi An used to be known the
international market with many different names such as Lam Ap, Faifo, Hoai Pho
and Hoi An.
What is so special about Hoi An is that this little port town is in an incredible
state of preservation. It offers some of the most densely-concentrated sights in Viet
Nam with its old streets bordered with ancient houses and assembly halls, its
pagodas, temples, ancient wells and tombs. In total, more than a thousand places of
interest. The architecture of Hoi An is characterised by a harmonious blend of
Vietnamese, Chinese and Japanese influences. After many centuries, Hoi An is still
respectful of its traditions, folk festivals, beliefs and of its sophisticated culinary art.
Set in a quiet environment, Hoi An is surrounded by peaceful villages that have
crafts such as carpentry, bronze making, ceramic...
 Researchers said most of the buildings in Hoi An underwent restoration at the
beginning of the 19th century even if they might be constructed long time ago. The
ancient architecture is shown most clearly in the Ancient Town that is located in
Minh An Ward. It covers about 2 square kilometres and almost of all famous relics
in Hoi An are gathered here. The streets are very short and narrow, having a
winding, crossing as the chessboard style. The topography of the ancient town tilt
gradually from north to south. The buildings in the old town is built mostly with
traditional materials such as: brick, wood and no more than two floors. The traces of
time is able to find not only on the architectural design of each building but also
everywhere like: on the yin- yang roof tiles covered with moss and plants; the old
gray mold walls; the pictures carved on a strange animal, or describing a old story.
Having inherited a multi-cultural architecture so varied and sophisticated, Hoi An
must have attracted numerous and talented workers in carpentry, ceramics, and
woodcarving from China, Japan and other regions of Viet Nam.
For centuries, Hoi An had developed into a melting pot of various nationalities
who came to the area, bringing along their own cultures. Accordingly, Hoi An
features the co-existence of indigenous customs and habits and those imported by
foreign settlers.
