Hoi An is one of the most charming destinations in Vietnam. Located beside the Thu Bon River, Hoi An was an important international trading port from the 15th to the 19th centuries.

The old town is famous for its well-preserved traditional houses, temples, assembly halls and the Japanese Covered Bridge. The architecture reflects a fascinating combination of Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese and European influences.

In 1999, Hoi An Ancient Town was recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site because of its outstanding historical and cultural value.
