Hoi An Ancient Town

UNESCO World Heritage-listed old town that preserves a 16th–17th century trading port with yellow shopfronts, lantern-lit streets, and mixed Chinese, Japanese, and European architecture.

Hoi An Ancient Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the best-preserved Southeast Asian trading ports, reflecting intense maritime exchange between Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese and European merchants from the 15th to 19th centuries.
