Why Visit Hoi An
Hoi An is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site thanks to its former trading port and distinctive architecture. Vietnamese, Chinese and Japanese influences are visible throughout the old houses, temples and assembly halls.
If you are interested in history, the old town is easy to explore on foot, with stops at ancient houses, museums, pagodas and the Japanese Bridge.
