Hoi An

A charming little town in central Vietnam, the UNESCO-recognised Hoi An was once a thriving port which saw traders from as near as China and as far as Europe doing business on the shores of the Thu Bon River. Nowadays, the quaint riverside neighbourhood boasts a rich culture all its own, from centuries-old houses built using traditional architecture to a host of culinary specialties. The tailors of Hoi An are also famous nationwide for their ability to fashion the finest custom clothing in the country.
