Hội An Ancient Town is a remarkably preserved 15th- to 19th-century trading port, where narrow streets are lined with centuries-old wooden shophouses, temples, and assembly halls. Visitors can wander the car-free streets, admire the iconic yellow-walled buildings, and see hundreds of colorful silk lanterns that illuminate the town at night. The atmosphere is a unique fusion of indigenous and foreign cultures, reflecting its history as a major Southeast Asian trading hub.
Don't miss
- Stroll along the Thu Bồn River and watch the sunset as lanterns light up the town.
- Visit the ancient shophouses, some of which are still family-run businesses selling local crafts.
- Explore the many assembly halls built by Chinese merchant guilds, such as the Fujian Assembly Hall.
