Hoi An, a beautiful ancient town, in Vietnam - Part I

Hoi An is just a small ancient town in Vietnam, but it’s nice and beautiful. In the past, it was important as the largest port in Southeast Asia.

The beauty of Hoi An is unique; i.e. it’s the excellent blend of both local and foreign art and architecture of buildings. The town has been preserved really well so it was registered by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

Walking along the banks of the canal, you will see awesome old houses and some traditional boats that they use for their daily transportation and for travelling tours for foreigners as well.

One of the highlight places of Hoi An that you must not miss is the Japanese Bridge. It acts as a symbol of Hoi An.

It's an awesome Japanese architecture style which was built by the Japanese people who used to live there in the past.

Hoi An town is a good place for walking or cycling around.

You will enjoy seeing various old houses and there are many handicrafts shops and restaurants for you.

One of the main markets that sell fresh products is not far away. There are a lot of wonderful things to see and to buy as well.

I think the way of Vietnamese's life in Vietnam is interesting indeed.
