Description
Location: On The Thu Bon River, heading to Hoi An, Vietnam

Graceful, historic Hoi An is Vietnam’s most atmospheric and delightful town. It is a UNESCO heritage site since 1999. Once a major port, it boasts the grand architecture and beguiling riverside setting that befits its heritage.

The face of the Old Town has preserved its incredible legacy of tottering Japanese merchant houses, Chinese temples and ancient tea warehouses – though, of course, residents and rice fields have been gradually replaced by tourist businesses. Lounge bars, boutique hotels, travel agents and a glut of tailor shops are very much part of the scene here. And yet, down by the market and over on Cam Nam Island, you’ll find life has changed little.
