About Hoi An Ancient Town

Step back into a Southeast Asian trading port dating back to the 15th to 19th centuries. Hoi An Ancient Town is a blend of Asian and foreign architecture that combine to display a fusion of cultures.

The town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with over 1,000 wood-framed houses, monuments, commercial buildings, and pagodas. Take a stroll through the narrow streets past tightly-packed houses. The streets haven’t been moved. It looks just like it would have hundreds of years ago.
