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 It has UNESCO World Heritage status and the centre of the town is closed off in the evenings so you can wonder around without taking your life into your hands. It is set up for the tourists but there are still great examples of Vietnamese life popping up. You do have constant calling of "Come and see in my shop" but a smile will be enough to tell them "No". It is famous for its lanterns which make it a magical place to visit at night. The food is great and fresh.
