Hoi An

Hoi An is a cosmopolitan melting pot and is a popular retreat for many visitors to Vietnam, who come here to hang out for a few days and enjoy this delightful, atmospheric town.

Hoi An was an important port on a major trading route the town has influences that can be traced back to China and Japan. The harbour is still a thriving trading centre for the local people and the quaint streets of Hoi An ooze an amazing history.
