Located in central Quang Nam province, 30 kilometers south of My Khe beach, Hoi An ancient town is an Eastern oriental classic captivation. With the strategic location on the banks of the great river, with one seaside border (East), it used to be one of the major trading centers in Southeast Asia during the 16th century due to the early western trader occupying period.
Since Hoi An is an old Town, its places of interest are
of full historically classical meaning and image. Hoi An symbol, the most
popular remnant is the Japanese Covered Bridge (Chua Cau or Lai Vien Kieu), on
the west end of Tran Phu Street. The bridge was constructed in the early 1600's
by the Japanese community. Tourists should spend time on visiting Quan Cong
Temple, Musium of Culture… Many ancient style - oriented architects come here
to have a direct look into the ancient houses of the town, among which are
Phung Hung House, just west of the Japanese Bridge, Quan Thang House, or Tan Ky
House.
The design of the houses show how local architecture
incorporated Japanese and Chinese influences. Cantonese Assembly Hall (Quang
Dong), has a calm courtyard with ornate statuary. You could take a peek at the
half-hidden back yard and its kitschy pastel dragon statues. Hokien (Fujian)
Meeting Hall (Phuc Kien) and Chinese All-Community Meeting Hall (Trieu Chau),
are also spanning the block. If you are Buddhist, there are a lot of pagodas to
visit. Ong Pagoda, Quan Am Phat Tu Minh Huong Pagoda, etc. are premium places
to get in.
Today, Hoi An is also known as a shopping paradise that attracts tourists towards its wonderful souvenirs, handicrafts, antique pieces, silk materials and art paintings, and so on.
Nowdays, in Hoi An the trade is almost entirely tourism-related,
although the town retains its traditional market, and other glimpses of
Vietnamese life are visible at almost every turn. The influx of tourists has
translated into a good range of decent accommodation to suit most tastes and
budgets, from simple guesthouses to fully-fledged five-star resorts on the
banks of the river or on the beach itself (located a short distance from town).
Likewise, dining in this coastal town is a pleasure, with some of the best
seafood in Vietnam offered at very reasonable prices.
The last few years has seen the arrival of some
excellent new restaurants and bars, situated along the riverfront, and 1 street
back on Nguyen Thai Hoc. As the tourist numbers increased so did the number of
shops selling art, jewellery, lacquer, ceramics, etc – and of course Hoi An’s
famous tailor shops.
If you arrive to Hoi An at afternoon, we recommend you try walking around for the town night. There may be many interesting things waiting for you here, lanterns, clothes shop, Hoian calligraphy, night foods. Especially, try to visit Hoi An on the night of the full moon – the town is lit up with thousands of lanterns, locals dress up in traditional costume, and music and dance shows are performed throughout the old town..
Hoi An old town with colorful lanterned nights, with
cristinely old plain houses and special mysterious cultural elements, and with
the etiquette & culturally hospitable and friendly people are warmly
welcoming you.
