Hoi An – an accient town in Vietnam– that I would like to talk about as an interesting place of my country.
Hoi An is a small old town nearby Da Nang and located in central Vietnam. This place has preserved its incredible legacy of Japanese merchant houses, Chinese temples and French colonial buidlings – though, of course, residents and rice fields have been gradually replaced by tourist businesses. Hoi An is more touristy, but not unreasonably like many other popular tourist destinations in Vietnam which have experienced great modernisation and urbanisation and lost their own original values. Some of central Vietnam’s most beautiful scenery and beaches are within easy reach in Hoi An.
Hoi An is beautiful and colorful to look at, and it is well known for its yellow Ancient Town, the lanterns that adorn the streets, the great food, the pedestrian streets, and the river. Everything in Hoi An is amazing in its own way. Call me romantic but Hoi An is a city that I love, and this hasn’t changed since I was there 5 years ago. It is something about its appearance, atmosphere and friendliness that draws me back again and again.
To me, Hoi An is a place worth travelling to and I would recommend this town to anybody who asks me where in Vietnam they should visit.
