Welcome to
Hoi An
Vietnam
Hoi An is Vietnam's most perfectly preserved ancient trading town — a UNESCO World Heritage Site on the Thu Bon River whose Chinese merchant houses, Japanese covered bridge, French colonial shopfronts, and Vietnamese tube houses reflect the extraordinary mix of cultures that traded through its port from the 15th to the 19th century. At night, the town glows with the light of hundreds of silk lanterns reflected in the river, and the streets fill with visitors drawn to the phenomenal food — white rose dumplings, cao lau noodles, banh mi — that is considered by many chefs the finest in Vietnam. The tailors of Hoi An are legendary: bespoke clothing made to measure within 24 hours has been a tradition here for decades.
