Hoi An was a famous trading port back to the 16 – 19th centuries. Hoi An was called at by merchants from China Japan Persia Europe….at the times. The town’s architecture is a perfect combination of Vietnamese Chinese and Japanese styles.Hoi An nowadays still retains the atmosphere of the old town which never fails to charm the visitors. Residents of the town are of Vietnamese and Chinese origins. The place is peaceful quiet and beautiful. Looking for somewhere in Vietnam for tailor-made clothes? This is one of the best.Apart from the cozy ancient town Hoi An also offers the pristine white sand Cua Dai Beach which claimed one of the most charming beaches in the country. From the town you can rent a bike (hell chep price) and cycle to the beach (20 minutes) enjoy the rural coutryside scenery en route. When it comes to twilight hundreds of dim oil-light are lit up on the beach for the fisherman to sell their seafood.
