    Hoi An is the product of a combination of both ethnic and foreign cultures. Due to its favorable location near the sea, it used to be one of South-East Asia's most important trading ports. The bustling trade center attracted business from across the globe; merchants decided to settle in Hoi An.
    We can now witness the results of this foreign influence in the Japanese and Chinese quarters in terms of architecture. France also sent many missionaries; it is said that the edition of the Vietnamese alphabet ‘Quốc ngữ’ used today was completed by a French priest, Alexandre de Rhodes when staying in Hoi An.
    Its rich cultural history gives Hoi An a unique position in Vietnam, mainly because it has been well-preserved despite several wars. No wonder UNESCO declared the old town a World Heritage Site in 1999.
    Wandering around the Old Town is very satisfying. First, the area is mainly closed to vehicles; only bicycles are allowed, making it more relaxing not to hear the constant sound of horns or look over your shoulder every minute. Every shop you will cross offers crafted items such as leather goods, silk, and distinctive lanterns.
    The city is covered by hundreds of lanterns of all shapes and colors. You will see the trees, the shops, and the restaurants everywhere you turn, bringing such a colorful and joyous touch to this special place. The best part is when all the lanterns light up at sundown to offer the most spectacular atmosphere. Any heart would melt with such beauty!
    The houses and shops certainly do not require this additional touch; they already look stunning by themselves. Some houses follow the lines of Chinese architecture with a lot of engraved wood and revolving doors. Even classic ready-to-wear shops seem not so traditional anymore.
    You will be surprised to see the number of temples you can walk by on one street. Fees are involved for each visit, but you can buy a pass with five tickets at Hoi An’s Information Centre and then pick 5 of your choosing on the list.
    At night, as the shops start closing along the main street, the activities move to the river. On both banks, there are dozens of restaurants, cafés, and pubs, all with different colored lanterns, welcoming you with smiles and good-smelling food.
    In addition, you can find some of the country's most beautiful beaches barely 15 minutes away on a bicycle. Smooth white sand and great weather combine entertainment in the city and leisure at the beach.
    This city is a one-of-a-kind jewel for the Vietnamese, colorful and original, perfectly adapted to an international clientele yet respecting its multi-cultural heritage. An absolutely must-see during your stay in Vietnam!
