Hoi An is one of the finest destinations in Vietnam and a ‘must’ for anyone interested in this country’s rich culture. The name translates as ‘peaceful meeting place’ and reflects its history: a Cham coastal port, it once traded silks, spices and ceramics and was home to peoples from across China, Europe and Japan.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Hoi An is wonderfully atmospheric and best explored on foot. At its heart is Ancient Town, a warren of restored shops, homes, temples and tea warehouses as well as an ornate Japanese covered bridge, built in the 16th century. Many buildings now enjoy a new lease of life as bars, cafes, souvenir shops and restaurants where diners can enjoy dishes such as prawn dumplings.
The city is just as beautiful at night, when the banks of the Thu Bon River are illuminated with the lights of lanterns which cast their golden glow on its darkened waters.
