HOI AN

Ancient Town
Hoi An was a bustling international trading port in Southeast Asia
from the 15th to the 19th century. Although large-scale trading had
long moved elsewhere, Hoi An has been successful in preserving
and restoring its charming roots and was recognized as a World
Heritage by UNESCO in 1998. Tradition is still very much alive in the
Old Town, even though many of the old shops have been converted
to modern businesses which are aimed at foreigners and tourists,
Hoi An is considered as a living museum of architecture and urban
lifestyle. Most traditional houses here are the combination of
different architectures from different cultures such as Chinese,
Japanese, French, and British and of course Vietnamese style.
Nowadays, Hoi An is one of the most famous tourist destinations in
Vietnam.
