Hội An

The old town features traditional wooden buildings, narrow streets, temples, assembly halls, and a network of small canals along the Thu Bon River.

From the 15th to 19th century, this port connected Vietnamese traders with merchants from China, Japan, India, and European nations through maritime commerce.

The buildings demonstrate architectural influences from Vietnamese, Chinese, and Japanese traditions through their wooden structures, ornate carvings, and tile roofs.

The dry season between February and August provides optimal conditions for exploring the ancient streets and visiting local artisan workshops.

During the monthly lunar festival, hundreds of paper lanterns illuminate the streets while floating candles drift down the Thu Bon River.
