A once thriving trading port in South East Asia between the 15th and 19th centuries, with a mixture of well preserved European, Japanese, Chinese and Vietnamese architecture – Hoi An has a unique heritage and an atmospheric splendour that draws many visitors. It’s gentle river setting combined with its narrow streets in the Ancient Town are lined with small shops, tailors, boutique style hotels, cafes and resturants. It is a place best to be savoured and not rushed, we spent a good ten days here (the longest time we have stayed in one place in Vietnam).
