 A Living Heritage by the River


Recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Hoi An Ancient Town preserves the blend of Vietnamese, Chinese, and Japanese influences that once made it a thriving trading port.

Walking through its lantern-lit streets, you’ll see wooden merchant houses, ornate temples, and tailor shops that still create handmade clothes overnight.

If you’re on a Vietnam Culture Tour or a Flexible Vietnam Tour, Hội An offers that rare mix of history and serenity.
