HOI AN, VIETNAM

In the 16th century, the ancient town of Hoi An was one of the major trading centers of Southeast Asia and was
declared a World Cultural Heritage Site in 1999. Hoi An has a distinctive Chinese atmosphere with narrow streets and colorful houses decorated with lacquer panels engraved with Chinese characters. Originally a harbour for the Cham city at My Son, the town became a trading port for Chinese, Japanese and European traders, reaching its peak during the 17th century. The different influences on this riverside town over the centuries have resulted in an eclectic mix of architectural styles, ranging from Chinese assembly halls to grand merchants’ houses to French colonial villas.
