Hoi An Travel Guide Vietnam: Tourism Information

Hoi An Travel Guide Vietnam. Tourism Information. Graceful historic Hoi An is Vietnams most atmospheric and delightful town. Once a major port it boasts the grand architecture and beguiling riverside setting that befits its heritage and the 21st-century curses of traffic and pollution are almost entirely absent. The face of the Old Town has preserved its incredible legacy of tottering Japanese merchant houses Chinese temples and ancient tea warehouses though of course residents and rice fields have been gradually replaced by tourist businesses. Lounge bars boutique hotels travel agents and a glut of tailor shops are very much part of the scene here. And yet down by the market and over on Cam Nam Island youll find life has changed little. Travel a few kilometres further youll find some superb bicycle motorbike and boat trips and some of central Vietnams most enticingly laid-back scenery and beaches are within easy reach.
