The ancient town of Hoi An dating way back to the 15^th century, is an incredibly well-preserved example of a typical South East Asian trading port. Considered one of the only towns in Vietnam to have survived the turmoil of the country’s past, Hoi An is a fascinating piece of living history, thus awarded the accolade of a UNESCO world heritage site.

Once the principal port of the Cham kingdom, the people of Hoi An now comprise a mix of mostly Hindu, Chinese and Vietnamese creating an area alive with diversity. Tourists are well catered for; contact a Hoi An tourist guide and purchase just one ticket to gain access to five of the many attractions the quaint old town has to offer, including a museum, an old house, a craft workshop, the traditional theatre and either the Quan Cng Temple or the Japanese covered bridge. 

Relatively inexpensive compared to many tourist destinations in the east, go all out and sample the fine cuisine and impressive shopping opportunities in this charming Vietnamese port town.
