About Hoi An

The pink-toned Fujian Assembly Hall in Hoi An's Old Town

Hoi An’s the kinda place you return to in your daydreams on a rainy day. The UNESCO-listed Old Town is the cultural heart of the city, with lantern-lined streets, peaceful pagodas and a cafe-dotted riverside that was once one of South East Asia’s busiest ports – something which shaped the city's unique flavors. But hop on a bike and you’ll soon find yourself among rice fields, watching water buffalo and saying xin chao (hello) to farmers at work. Unlike Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, Hoi An is all about taking things slow.
