Ancient Town of Hoi An

| Hoi An has long been a cultural crossroad. More than five centuries ago the Vietnamese nation of Dai Viet expanded its territory southwards, encroaching on the Indianized Kingdom of Champa, which covered much of what is now central Viet Nam. Parts of Hoi An look exactly as they did in centuries past and the town retains the old world feel. With its narrow streets and quaint mix of architecture, picturesque Hoi An is a favorite with many foreign visitors. Visitors may have much interest in the structure of old houses made of hard wood, decorated with lacquered boards and panels engraved with Chinese characters and Japanese characters, like the old Chinese Pagodas and the famous Temple Bridge built in 1593 by the Japanese. |
