Hoi An is a beautiful city in Vietnam located approximately halfway down Vietnam's long, S-shaped coastline, just south of Da Nang. It is said that Japanese mariners in the 18th century believed that Hoi An was the heart of all of Asia. The Old Town of Hoi An is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. According to UNESCO, the town is an exceptionally well-preserved example of a South-East Asian trading port dating from the 15th to the 19th century. Its buildings and its street plan reflect the influences, both indigenous and foreign, that have combined to produce this unique heritage site.
The town has been a strategic ocean port since at least the mid-1400’s, and was officially founded in 1595 as a result of the increased trade policies of the Nguyen Dynasty, which ruled Southern Vietnam from 1558-1777. During this time European powers were exploring and trading with an enthusiasm never before seen, and the mystical orient proved an irresistible destination. The town grew fast and quickly became the busiest and richest port in the region, and much evidence of these developments still remains.
Today, however, the town is known mostly for its thriving tourism industry, and rightly so – the beautiful architecture and narrow streets have hardly changed since the old days, and it’s easy to take an evening stroll down Bạch Đằng Street and imagine pacing the route 200 years in the past. It seems that there is a restaurant, coffee shop or store on every corner, each one offering a delicious meal, perfect beverage, or unique souvenir.
This time of year is perfect for a visit to the beach-side town, as tourist numbers are low and summer temperatures are kept in check by the constant ocean breeze. Take a look at the hotels below to find some great deals in this beautiful town.
