Hoi An Ancient Town, nestled along the banks of the Thu Bon River, is famed for its glowing lanterns, vibrant shopfronts, narrow streets, and winding alleys. This exceptionally well-preserved town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the finest surviving examples of a Southeast Asian trading port from the 15th to the 19th century.
Hoi An’s unique charm lies in its fusion of cultures — a blend of indigenous Vietnamese traditions with strong Chinese, Japanese, and later European influences. The townscape reflects this harmony through its architecture, layout, and cultural expression. Over 1,100 historic buildings remain intact, forming a dense network of brick-and-timber structures that include merchant houses, family shrines, pagodas, assembly halls, open markets, and ferry quays.
The buildings are typically tiled and feature wooden facades intricately carved with traditional motifs. Set side-by-side along narrow, pedestrian-friendly streets, they create a continuous rhythm of heritage that transports visitors back in time.
Among the town’s highlights is the iconic Japanese Covered Bridge, an elegant 18th-century wooden structure topped with a small pagoda — a symbol of Hoi An’s enduring cross-cultural legacy. By day, Hoi An is a living museum; by night, it’s a glowing wonder, lit by thousands of lanterns that float through the streets and reflect in the river’s gentle currents. Vietnam Adventure Tours
