About Hoi An

Hoi An, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1999, represents Southeast Asia's best-preserved ancient town with remarkably well-maintained architecture and cultural heritage spanning centuries. Located on the central Vietnamese coast, this enchanting riverside town frozen in time showcases a unique blend of Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, and French influences reflecting its history as a thriving Southeast Asian trading port from the 15th to 19th centuries. The Ancient Town's 844 buildings, narrow lanes, iconic Japanese Covered Bridge, and atmospheric lantern-lit streets transport visitors to a bygone era where merchants, sailors, and traders once bustled through these same pathways.

Hoi An captivates visitors with its ethereal beauty, particularly during monthly lantern festival nights when the entire town glows with thousands of floating lanterns illuminating the Thu Bon River. The town's legendary tailor culture offers the unique opportunity to commission custom silk garments in just 24 hours, a tradition that has made Hoi An famous among travelers. Beyond the Ancient Town's amber-hued colonial architecture lies beautiful beaches, lush countryside, and traditional villages where artisans continue ancient crafts. Whether wandering atmospheric lantern-draped streets, exploring centuries-old temples and assembly halls, sampling world-class Vietnamese cuisine, or experiencing the magical lantern festival, Hoi An embodies Vietnamese charm and cultural pride.
