Hoi An Ancient Town is an exceptionally well-preserved example of a South-East Asian trading port dating from the 15th to the 19th century. Its buildings and its street plan reflect the influences, both indigenous and foreign, that have combined to produce this unique heritage site.

Indeed, it is the slow pace of life that makes Hoi An worth a visit. It's pleasurable enough just to pedal around on a bicycle and stop by restaurants on Trai Phu Street for a cup of tea and Chinese-style pastries. 

Day 2. Hoi An sightseeing. This morning you will embark upon an excursion around Hoi An. Just a short drive from Danang, the unique trading town of Hoi An was a civilisation cut off by destroyed rail lines and a silted river, leaving it untouched by war and frozen in time. Visit the unique Japanese covered bridge and a Chinese communal house. Shop for art at one of the numerous galleries and enjoy the riverside ambience.

After lunch at local restaurant, you will take to the countryside of Hoi An, into the small settlement of Cam Thanh, nestled among seemingly endless rice fields, allowing visitors to experience first hand the very backbone of Vietnam's rural culture.

Day 3. Hoi An to your onward destination. The day is free until your transfer to the airport for your departure flight. Stay longer if you wish. B
