The UNESCO-approved ancient port town is illuminated with lanterns, ancient houses, and offers distinctive cuisine along the Thu Bon River.
Hoi An is the best-preserved ancient town in Southeast Asia, with its unique blend of Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, and French architecture. The narrow streets, illuminated by colorful lanterns, and the centuries-old houses make visitors feel like they've stepped into a fairytale.
On the 14th night of the lunar month, when the lights are completely off—leaving only the shimmering candlelight and lanterns—it's an unforgettable experience. Don't miss: Tra Que vegetable village, Thanh Ha pottery village, and a 24-hour tailor-made ao dai (traditional Vietnamese dress).
Hoi An cuisine is famous throughout Vietnam: Cao Lau noodles, Quang noodles, Phuong bread (chosen by Anthony Bourdain as the best in the world), chicken rice, and white steamed buns.
