Hoi An is a small city on the coast of the South China Sea, in the South Central Coast of Vietnam. In 1999, the old town was declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO as a well-preserved example of a Southeast Asian trading port of the 15th to 19th centuries, whose buildings display a unique blend of local and foreign influences, including French, Japanese and Chinese.
We stayed there for 5 days, and the old town was a great place to relax, eat great food and walk around. There are many charming restaurants and bars, beautiful art galleries, interesting temples and old houses, and amazing handcrafts (especially lanterns). Also, one of the biggest attractions are the local tailors, who make custom tailored clothes for a bargain! It is hard to resist...and, of course, we did not :)
